Add Shared File Systems (manila) to the Config Reference¶

Problem description¶

Shared File Systems (manila) is not currently included in the Configuration Reference. The documentation is currently kept in-tree in the manila devref. Administrators using Block Storage, Object Storage, and Shared File Systems would expect to find a similar reference for all three projects in the Configuration Reference. The automated configuration doc tools should be leveraged.

Proposed change¶

The content would be similar to Block Storage in that it would have sections to describe introduction, drivers, log files, and options. The drivers section, however, would use shorter more stable descriptions of drivers and use links to vendor web sites and in-tree vendor docs.

Automatically generated configuration tables should be used where possible.

Implementation¶

Dependencies¶

• Manila is near RC1, so functionality is frozen.
• Manila devref documentation for Liberty is not final. Some vendors should be improving their documentation while this is in progress. Some pages may need a re-sync once we get a base Config Ref – or we could use separate commits for each vendor to try to capture all their Liberty updates in each first commit.

Testing¶

Review by the manila core team and contributors.
