- Getting help
Cinder and Manila shares cannot be distinguished from the CLISH (3763836)
Any file system exported through NFS using the OPENSTACK> cinder share command, and any file system that is exported through NFS from OpenStack Manila cannot be distinguished through CLISH.
Workaround:
Use the OPENSTACK> manila resource list command to see only the shares that have been exported through Manila. There is no way to see Cinder shares exclusively.
