In quite a few situations, SMB shares exposed by the local server cannot be mounted locally (e.g. SoFS shares). The Nova Hyper-V driver will always pass the 'local_path_for_loopback' flag to the os-brick connector, but this doesn't happen when Cinder connects to volumes exposed by the SMB driver. For this reason, cinder will fail to backup volumes residing on SoFS shares. To keep it simple, we can just change the default behavior of the SMB os-brick connector so that local shares are never mounted, using the shared path directly.

Team and repository tags
brick
OpenStack Cinder brick library for managing local volume attaches
Features
- Discovery of volumes being attached to a host for many transport protocols.
- Removal of volumes from a host.
Hacking
Hacking on brick requires python-gdbm (for Debian derived distributions), Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. A recent tox is required, as is a recent virtualenv (13.1.0 or newer).
If "tox -e py34" fails with the error "db type could not be determined", remove the .testrepository/ directory and then run "tox -e py34".
