#### A generic backend configuration charm for manila.

The Manila share file system service provides a set of services for management
of shared file systems in a multi-tenant cloud environment. The service
resembles OpenStack block-based storage management from the OpenStack Block
Storage service project. With the Shared File Systems service, you can create
a remote file system, mount the file system on your instances, and then read
and write data from your instances to and from your file system.

The manila-generic plugin (using the manila-plugin relation) provides the
configuration information to the manila charm to configure the Manila
instance such that it can use the generic driver appropriately.
