# NFS Driver: VAST Manila Driver

The source code for our driver is publicly available on [our OpenStack Manila fork in GitHub](https://opendev.org/openstack/manila/src/branch/master/manila/share/drivers/vastdata).

**Notes**

- The driver was implemented for OpenStack **Rocky**; make sure this is the version in use.
- *OpenStack Manila* does not support out-of-tree driver installation. The installation, therefore, requires deploying the driver directly into Manila’s code base on the host. Make sure you have a backup of your Manila deployment or another way to revert your changes.

**Known Issues**

- Deleting shares requires connectivity between the Manila server and VAST’s virtual IPs.
- Deleted shares are *moved* to a "deleted/" subfolder rather than being deleted. They should be purged manually by the storage administrator via an NFS mount.
