Title:
  Attaching LVM encrypted volumes has problems with other locales than
  english

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm on Nova 2.17.0.
  There is a bug in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nova/volume/encryptors/luks.py at line 89, when it checks for the volume to be a valid luks device.
  Instead using that pattern, that looks for a string in english language, you should grab the boolean result of "cryptsetup isLuks".
  If the compute node has different locale than english, the "nova volume-attach" command fails.

  --(I have doubts also about the flowchart of the volume attachment operation. If the device is not recognized to be a valid luks device, you are formatting it! So if for some reason the luks header get corrupted, it erases the whole data)--
  --(I think that the process has to be reviewed.)--
  bug #1372375
