problems mounting volumes - crashes compute node

 

Hi all,



 I’ve run into some unpredictable behavior attaching volumes to instances,
I can mount volumes sometimes, whilst other times status remains
“attaching” and my compute node dies.   Anyone run into this issue?





Environment:


nova01 –  cloud controller  (compute disabled)

 - Ubuntu 12.04 (latest packages) 64bit

·      -  All-in-one OpenStack installation

·      - tgt ISCSI

·      - nova-volume – 3.6TB free

·      - nova.conf can be found: http://paste.openstack.org/show/16022/



nova03  - compute node

·      - Ubuntu 12.04 (latest packages) 64bit

·      - nova-api, nova-network, nova-compute

·      - tgt ISCSI

·      nova.conf can be found here http://paste.openstack.org/show/16021/


Steps:


nova volume-list

+----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

| ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to |

+----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

+----+--------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+



nova volume-create --display_name "ext_vol01" 1



nova volume-list

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

| ID |   Status  | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to |

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

| 37 | available | ext_vol01    | 1    | None        |             |

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+



nova volume-attach 5d91ed13-f88f-4ff0-aca4-f1cd3910256f 37 /dev/vdf



nova volume-list

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

| ID |   Status  | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Attached to |

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+

| 37 | attaching | ext_vol01    | 1    | None        |             |

+----+-----------+--------------+------+-------------+-------------+





At this point the volume status remains “attaching” and the nova03 compute
node has crashed.
