We keep seeing people concerned about data leakage and thorough deletion of data from volumes on volume deletion [1][2], and Cinder currently only worries about the data leakage, not the stealing of the physical disks. In order to clarify this for administrators and to reduce the number of specs proposed to address this issue we are adding additional documentation on security aspects as well as data leakage. This patch was decided as an action from the discussion during the Wallaby PTG [3].

Cinder Configuration Documentation (source/configuration)
Introduction:
This directory is intended to hold any documentation that relates to how to configure Cinder. It is intended that some of this content be automatically generated in the future. At the moment, however, it is not. If you would like to work on this, please use Launchpad Bug #1847600 for tracking purposes. Changes to configuration options for Cinder or its drivers needs to be put under this directory.
