Jay S. Bryant 986a6a015f [DOC BLD FIX] Name files for inclusion properly 
The Sphinx build was issuing hundreds of warning for
duplicate labels.  The reason for this was because
all of the tables we had were named as .rst files.
This would cause Sphinx to process them twice and it would
think there were duplicated sections.

There were two ways this could be handled:  1) Exclude the tables
directory from the docs build. 2) Name the files as they should
have always been so they weren't build twice.  Given that
option 1 just masked the problem, I am implementing this
patch using option 2.

So, all the tables we are including in our documentation
have been named from .rst to .inc and the .. include::
directives that use them have also been updated to use
the new file name.

Scality SOFS driver

The Scality SOFS volume driver interacts with configured sfused mounts.

The Scality SOFS driver manages volumes as sparse files stored on a Scality Ring through sfused. Ring connection settings and sfused options are defined in the cinder.conf file and the configuration file pointed to by the scality_sofs_config option, typically /etc/sfused.conf.

Supported operations

The Scality SOFS volume driver provides the following Block Storage volume operations:

  • Create, delete, attach (map), and detach (unmap) volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Copy a volume to an image.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
  • Backup a volume.
  • Restore backup to new or existing volume.

Configuration

Use the following instructions to update the cinder.conf configuration file:

[DEFAULT]
enabled_backends = scality-1

[scality-1]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.scality.ScalityDriver
volume_backend_name = scality-1

scality_sofs_config = /etc/sfused.conf
scality_sofs_mount_point = /cinder
scality_sofs_volume_dir = cinder/volumes

Compute configuration

Use the following instructions to update the nova.conf configuration file:

[libvirt]
scality_sofs_mount_point = /cinder
scality_sofs_config = /etc/sfused.conf
