[Bernd Bausch <berndbausch@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems to me this problem is solved with the new (as of Juno) config
parameters "block_device_allocate_retries" and
"block_device_allocate_retries_interval". See
http://docs.openstack.org/juno/config-reference/content/nova-conf-
changes-juno.html.

The code in nova/compute/manager.py (_await_block_device_mape_created())
still contains a small mistake - it outputs a warning about
"block_device_retries"  instead of "block_device_allocate_retries".

---------------

If anybody still wants to reproduce the situation, use a large image in an http store: "glance image-create --location <somewhere on the internet> ....". This ensures a long load time.
You should then find a message like this in the nova compute log:
"VolumeNotCreated: Volume 1cf1c991-6f61-4072-9e80-0161d6ee0574 did not finish being created even after we waited 193 seconds or 61 attempts. And its status is downloading."

Title:
  Failure when creating a volume from an existing image and using it to
  boot an instance.

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running CLI as below to create a volume from an existing image and
  using it to boot an instance.

  nova --debug boot --flavor m1.medium --block-device
  source=image,id=8c7ae799-a61c-4015-86af-
  ca8544691399,dest=volume,size=40,shutdown=remove,bootindex=0 --nic
  net-id=861b4e6b-126d-4302-a2b2-58fd0bb72f03 my-testvm

  This will fail now and then depends on the images size.
