The purpose of this spec is to change the behavior of the volume extend API to allow an attached volume to be extended. This allows the volume driver to extend the existing volume without first requiring that the volume be detached and put back in the available state. Nova will be asked to act on the size increase and to allow the instance to have access to the added space after the volume driver extends the volume. blueprint: extend-attached-volume Co-Authored-By: Gerald McBrearty <gfm@us.ibm.com> Depends-On: I6622b154a7ebd5ebef37efedb23fc4b4401c052a Change-Id: Id5b70ddac617a2fe0da9f2c2c0286a5ef61ef782

OpenStack Cinder Specifications
This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions to the Cinder project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.
The layout of this repository is:
specs/<release>/
You can find an example spec in specs/template.rst.
Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the specs/<release> directory and posting it for review. The implementation status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.
Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed to make sure it still makes sense as written.
Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec reviews. Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad blueprints:
http://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder
Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the current status of blueprints. For more information, see:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints
For more information about working with gerrit, see:

To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:
$ tox
After running tox
, the documentation will be available
for viewing in HTML format in the doc/build/
directory.
