Public bug reported: The latest nova-compute adds a new command which needs sudo privs:
2012-01-13 22:24:27,385 DEBUG nova.utils [-] Running cmd (subprocess): sudo guestmount --rw -a /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-0000000c/disk -m /dev/sda1 /tmp/tmpXrLkev from (pid=2743) execute /data/backups- meta/linux/x220/data/src/openstack/nova/nova/utils.py:201 This command is not set up in /etc/sudoers.d/nova_sudoers, and therefore my test instance prompts for the password. Interestingly I can't find the command guestmount packaged anywhere, so I'm not sure what its meant to be doing. The code to call guestmount seems to have been around for a while, so I'm not sure why this is only just coming up now. Perhaps I only just noticed it. I see that guestmount is packaged for precise, but not for oneiric. ** Affects: nova (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915971 Title: New command "guestmount" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/915971/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
