The next patch in the documentation migration process brings over the very popular configuration reference guide. This required moving the 'block-storage' section from config-reference in openstack-manuals. It also brings with it a number of supporting tables. With this patch in place it becomes imperative that we make sure that any changes that touch config options also come with a patch to this part of Cinder. As with the other changes, this is intended to just make the content accessible on the web again. There are definitely changes/improvements needed to make this integrate better with out index page and to ensure the content is accurate. Later patches will address those needs.
