Hi all,

When I create a snapshot of a VM, the snapshot just vanishes or is hidden.

*Scenario:*
1. Create a vm with local storage
2. Create a snapshot of the VM after its running succesfully
3. In horizon create a snapshot of the VM
4. You get redirected to Image & Snapshots page but there is no sign of the
snapshot.

*Some more debugging:*

As you can see glance image-list and nova image-list return different
results. The snapshot has in fact
been created correctly as you can see here:
ls /var/lib/glance/images/6d196c6a-b210-45f7-a4ab-4d98e5b2a31b -lh

As you can see the image is_public = False, which is correct as this
snapshot should only be visible to the
user who created the snapshot.

*My workaround*:
Make the image public and it works fine (Image can be seen in horizon):
glance image-update 33d37a0b-0c4d-4976-8580-9e7bf8b53776 --is-public=True

Seems this is a big bug or a misconfiguration, but I guess it's a
misconfiguration on my part.
I've attached all my glance configuration files as attachment:
glance-config.tar.gz.
The logs didn't contain errors either.

Really hope somebody can help me in the right direction. Thanks a lot!
Sam
