Shared File Systems service
common/get-started-shared-file-systems.rst manila-controller-install.rst manila-share-install.rst manila-verify.rst manila-next-steps.rst
The Shared File Systems service (manila) provides coordinated access to shared or distributed file systems. The method in which the share is provisioned and consumed is determined by the Shared File Systems driver, or drivers in the case of a multi-driver configuration. There are a variety of drivers that support NFS, CIFS, HDFS and/or protocols as well.
The Shared File Systems API and scheduler services typically run on the controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the share service can run on controllers, compute nodes, or storage nodes.
For more information, see the Configuration Reference.
