Title:
  qemu-nbd processes left behind after instance deletion

Status in “nova” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We have a couple of nova compute nodes which have ended up with a load
  of qemu-nbd processes:

  18671 root      20   0  300m 2292  988 R   61  0.0 449:27.23 qemu-nbd

  Looking at these processes, most of them refer to instances that no
  longer exist:

  # ps -ef | fgrep 10512
  root     10512     1 80 00:35 ?        08:34:07 /usr/bin/qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd9 /srv/nova/instances/baf8f430-2a6d-4fee-82d3-12d2a0db32e5/disk

  # ls -l /srv/nova/instances/baf8f430-2a6d-4fee-82d3-12d2a0db32e5/disk
  ls: cannot access /srv/nova/instances/baf8f430-2a6d-4fee-82d3-12d2a0db32e5/disk: No such file or directory

  There are no obvious errors in the logs to suggest anything went
  wrong.

  This is version 1:2013.2.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 running on precise.

  Bug #1250231 appears to be describing something very similar if it
  helps in any way.
