Official Title: OpenStack Block Storage Cinder
PTL: Mike Perez <thingee at gmail d0t com>
To implement services and libraries to provide on demand, self-service access to Block Storage resources. Provide Software Defined Block Storage via abstraction and automation on top of various traditional backend block storage devices.

Description
Cinder is a Block Storage service for OpenStack. It's designed to allow the use of either a reference implementation (LVM) to present storage resources to end users that can be consumed by the OpenStack Compute Project (Nova). The short description of Cinder is that it virtualizes pools of block storage devices and provides end users with a self service API to request and consume those resources without requiring any knowledge of where their storage is actually deployed or on what type of device.

Sample cinder.conf
The cinder.conf.sample is no longer maintained and tested in the source tree. Currently you can obtain a copy of a nightly generated conf file here: nightly_generated_conf_files
Note that the base cinder.conf.sample.txt (no time-stamp appended) is the current "good" generated conf for the previous milestone.
