Hey Cody, 

The bad news, after our email figured I'd check Rocky's status, still not working.
I've thus opened two new bugs, I'll clone these back for Queens and Pike as well.  

Any ways per debugging, as you rightfully mentioned docker.
As of Queens Cinder was containerized meaning:
log location: /var/log/container/cinder/cinder-volume.log
Config file path is : /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/cinder/etc/cinder/
So nfs_shares should be found/reside under this path ^ path. 

However if you login to Cinder's volume docker
# docker ps | grep cinder     somethign like  -> openstack-cinder-volume-docker-0
# docker exec -it openstack-cinder-volume-docker-0 /bin/bash 
You should see cinder.conf plus the share file under /etc/cinder/
In side the docker /etc/cinder/ path is valid, outside of docker mapping goes to /var/lib/config-data.. 
 
I'd me more than happy to take a look at your volume log,
should you be willing to share it in public or private with me.

Hi Tzach,

Thank you for getting back! I tested it again with
CinderNfsMountOptions: 'rw,sync,nosharecache' in Queens, but still to
no avail.

I also noticed that the file /etc/cinder/nfs_shares does not exist on
any controller, although in cinder.conf it has "#nfs_shares_config =
/etc/cinder/nfs_shares". I am not sure if this is normal for using NFS
with the containerized cinder service.

Thank you,
Cody

I can try to upload volumes from overcloud, but nothing would show up in the cinder folder. Also Horizon gives errors like unable to retrieve volume and volume snapshots. Did I miss something here? I do plan to use Ceph later, but I wish to use NFS for now to test migration and failover. Any helps would be appreciated. Thank you!
