openstack/manila — Week of 2026-08-15

NetApp driver work. The bulk of the week's churn lands in the NetApp backend. A new share-type extra spec enables force-delete of volumes (978780), ensure_shares now reapplies the QoS type policy on service restart so configuration survives restarts, and a pair of matching backports teach the driver to persist share server details when Barbican is unreachable rather than losing that state.

Scheduler and API fixes. The capacity filter and weigher were corrected to handle extend operations on snapshot-based shares. On the API side, an access-delete path that returned 404 on orphaned share access rules was fixed, the QoS type API docs, samples, and defensive coding were tidied up, a RequestContext AttributeError from attribute initialization order was resolved, and share creation no longer raises TypeError when metadata is omitted.

Deployment and devstack. The WSGI deployment guide was rewritten, and devstack swaps Quagga for FRR as its routing daemon. A one-line change (with a stable backport) also ensures Manila settings are loaded during the upgrade shutdown phase.
