The standard protocols (iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, etc.) generally only address the user plane and partially the control plane. Standardizing the management plane is left to the user or vendors. One of the roles of OpenStack is to fill that gap. Cinder addresses block storage. The proposed Manila project would deal with NAS. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
