The patch was proposed against stable/mitaka but needs to be proposed against master first, then backported to stable/newton and finally stable/mitaka if that's your target release.
** Also affects: nova/newton Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621818 Title: nova-compute unexpected input/output errors on starting instances (NFS + image-cache) Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): In Progress Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) mitaka series: In Progress Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) newton series: New Bug description: Our setup consists of multiple controllers and multiple hypervisors. Our shared storage for the instances is on a nfs 4.1 export. Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Openstack Mitaka When we launch an instance, nova updates the mtime for the _base image to let the image cache manager know the image is actively used. I think this was added here: https://review.openstack.org/gitweb?p=openstack/nova.git;a=commitdiff;h=fb6ca3e7c8a38328d384cd41c061ded6623dac90 Because of this, in our setup, we are seeing unexpected input/output errors: Stderr: u"/bin/touch: setting times of '/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/79e34519bacb47ad6f64c4baca4d33fd5c57d34d': Input/output error A full trace can be found here: http://paste.openstack.org/show/570161/ This error particularly shows itself when launching multiple instances at once. Also, because of this error, the instances are rescheduled. The assigned neutron ports, however, are not deleted. This results in multiple ip's assigned to the instances, with only one of them UP. This also results in attached floating ip's not working .. This is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1609526, nova should tell neutron, either to delete the unused port, or update it instead of creating a new one.
