Really great, thanks a lot Jinzhi! I'm not familiar with OpenStack and
cannot allocate time for it, but I hope your patches can be accepted
by the community. I'd like to help you from sheepdog side as much as
possible.

BTW, the Cinder driver of sheepdog is an urgent matter. All Cinder
drivers must have their own third party CI:
https://www.mail-archive.com/openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org/msg43726.html
The deadline is March 19th. If the CI server isn't provided, the
driver is dropped.

If you can provide the CI server for the sheepdog driver, I'm really
glad (requirements:
http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html#requirements). In addition,
if you (or your colleagues) can be a maintainer of the driver, it will
be really helpful for us. Are you interested in Cinder?

Thanks,
Hitoshi
