[Bug 1438260] Re: Expensive Device allocation loop when NBD is absent

 

Nova is being asked to do a thing, which it can't, which is put files in
the guest. This retry is actually kind of important.

The bug really is exposing the fact that *no* working file injection
mechanism exists in these rally jobs, but they are asking guests to  do
something.

  We should not even enter the loop when /sys/block/nbd0 is clearly
  absent.
