+# This script is executed in the OpenStack CI *tempest-dsvm-lvm job.
+# It's used to configure which tempest tests actually get run.  You can find

+# Construct a regex to use when limiting scope of tempest
+# to avoid features unsupported by Nova's LVM support.
+
+# Note that several tests are disabled by the use of tempest
+# feature toggles in devstack/lib/tempest for an lvm config,
+# so this regex is not entirely representative of what's excluded.
+
+# When adding entries to the regex, add a comment explaining why
+# since this list should not grow.
