Re: using Glusterfs for instance storage

 

Agree.
As for other shared FS, this is *highly* important to make sure Nova UID and GID are consistent in between all compute nodes.
If this is not the case, then you have to usermod all instances...

Hi JP,
my bet is that this is a writing permissions issue. Does nova has the right to write within the mounted directory?

Hi,

We've started implementing a Glusterfs-based solution for instance storage in order to provide live migration. I've run into a strange problem when using a multi-node Gluster setup that I hope someone has a suggestion to resolve.

I have a 12 node distributed/replicated Gluster cluster. I can mount it to my client machines, and it seems to be working alright. When I launch instances, the nova-compute log on the client machines are giving me two error messages:

First is a qemu-kvm error: could not open disk image /exports/instances/instances/instance-00000242/disk: Invalid argument
(full output at http://pastebin.com/i8vzWegJ)

The second error message comes a short time later ending with nova.openstack.common.rpc.amqp Invalid: Instance has already been created
(full output at http://pastebin.com/6Ta4kkBN)

This happens reliably with the multi-Gluster-node setup. Oddly, after creating a test Gluster volume composed of a single brick and single node, everything works fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,
JP
