How to configure NFS for cinder and glance as backend

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We strongly discourage to use NFS as glance backend.

  • If you decide to use NFS as glance and cinder backed we advise using two different NFS backend.

  • In case you decide to use the same NFS server as backend you should use at least two different shares and configure glance and cinder options as follow:

GlanceNfsOptions: '_netdev,bg,intr,context=system_u:object_r:svirt_sandbox_file_t:s0,nosharecache'
CinderNetappNfsMountOptions: 'nosharecache'
