openstack/manila — Week of 2026-07-18

Driver work. NetApp saw two behavioral fixes: efficiency settings are now skipped on data-protection volumes, and the stanza check was removed from backup config lookup. The CephFS driver dropped the deprecated cephfs_volume_path_prefix option, and Dell PowerScale had a stale thin-provisioning feature flag removed. Storage branding was also refreshed to reflect Pure Storage's rebrand to Everpure across roughly 60 lines.

API surface and docs. A cluster of api-ref fixes landed: versioned fields in the share servers list response are now documented, missing subnet metadata in share network responses was filled in, a manage snapshot metadata parameter and a missing availability_zone on replica responses were added, and several share_server_id / share_group_type_id path-vs-body parameter mismatches were corrected. QoS type API docs, samples, and defensive coding were also tightened.

Stability. list_extensions() now retries on ConnectFailure, malformed log format strings in the backup continuation handlers were fixed, and an interface mismatch surfaced by tooz 9.0.0 was patched.

Tooling and CI. A 331-line sweep removed the deprecated contrib/ci scripts, devstack cross-service auth was repaired, and three backports switched container image pulls to quay.io.
