openstack/manila — 2026-05-23

Documentation overhaul. The dominant story this week is a sweeping rewrite of Manila's docs to standardize on the unified openstack CLI in place of the legacy manila client. The user guide, install and contributor guides, and config guide all moved over, together touching roughly 2,800 lines across three patches. It's the kind of migration that has been pending for years across OpenStack projects, and Manila now joins the ones that lead readers to the modern CLI by default (user guide switch).

Driver work. The NetApp driver picked up volume tagging that propagates share_id, project_id, name, type, and protocol down to the backend, making shares much easier to correlate from the storage side. Its ensure_shares() path was also reworked for more reliable reconciliation on restart. On the Dell side, a CIFS share creation failure on the REST DHSS path was fixed.

Feature graduation and integrations. Share migration graduated out of experimental status, a milestone users have been waiting on. Barbican integration was hardened by deriving the endpoint path from the service catalog instead of hardcoding it, with the change backported across three branches.

Stability and tooling. A TypeError in the capacity weigher when backend capacity is reported as None was fixed, and devstack swapped Quagga for FRR to keep the routing test rig on a maintained stack.
