From bc4712e35ecec7f4e693cf4df5ca95633323d3fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Goutham Pacha Ravi Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 20:22:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Manila install guide: Fix wrong instructions Previously only the DHSS=True mode was documented in post install steps. The assumption that the generic driver was being configured existed in other places as well. * add DHSS=False documentation as necessary with the LVM driver. * correct assumptions in other places to clarify usage of appropriate share driver modes.
