Hi, I am convinced this bug is partially fixes, though not completely. I can recreate the issue very simply:
1) As a first point, let's use KVM/libvirt/Essex release on Ubuntu 12.04 (up to date as of 5/11/2012); 2) Create a volume (pick a size); 3) Attach that volume to a VM, supplying, /dev/vdz as your attach; On my hardware (Dell) that creates precisely the bug given above. Logs are below. Those are the last nova-computes that will occur until it's restarted. After this log, virsh *will* respond to virsh list--all, but nova- compute is no longer responsive. If I thereafter stop nova-compute, and restart, it will never start because at that point libvirt is hung (even virsh cannot connect, though it could prior to the nova-compute restart). As for attaching under normal circumstances (pick /dev/vdc for your first attach), and all goes well. However, I do not (re)raise the 'stupid device' thing, for instance /dev/vdz, just to raise this bug. I'm working with another team using HP Proliant DL380G6 with BIOS v. P62, and it exhibits precisely the error in *all* cases of /dev/vdc, but not using higher device names (e.g., /dev/vdx) -- in that case, the VM has only /dev/vda at that point. In any event, this is a pretty bad situation. 2012-05-14 15:13:16 DEBUG nova.rpc.amqp [-] received {u'_context_roles': [u'Member', u'admin', u'developer'], u'_context_request_id':
