Jay S. Bryant be10de4b91 [Doc Bld Fix] Add links to man page contents 
The pages under man/ had not been linked to from anywhere.  This
was causing Sphinx to issue warnings during build.  This patch
corrects that.

There was also a 'todo' directive that wasn't valid that needed
to be removed.  This patch also corrects that.

Cinder Installation Tutorial

The Block Storage service (cinder) provides block storage devices to guest instances. The method in which the storage is provisioned and consumed is determined by the Block Storage driver, or drivers in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of drivers that are available: NAS/SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, and more.

The Block Storage API and scheduler services typically run on the controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the volume service can run on controller nodes, compute nodes, or standalone storage nodes.

For more information, see the Configuration Reference.
