Public bug reported:

While attempting nova volume-attach on current devstack deployment I'm getting intermittent failures during the attach operation:
    http://paste.openstack.org/show/641383/

Each time I've encountered this I've been able to simply rerun the
command and it completes succesfully.

To reproduce:
Deploy devstack with cinder multi-attach patches (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531569/)
Create a multiattach volume-type:
    cinder type-create multiattach 
    cinder type-key multiattach set multiattach='<is> True'
Create two instances: 
    nova boot --image <image-id> --flavor 1 i-1
    nova boot --image <image-id> --flavor 1 i-2
Create a multiattach volume (cinder create --volume-type multiattach --name vol-1 1)
Attach the volume to each instance:
    nova volume-attach <i-1> <vol-1>)
    nova volume-attach <i-2> <vol-1>)

Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.  It appears that the
frequency of this failing is proportional to the length of time the Nova
service has been up and running on the system but that might be
nonsense.

I've yet to encounter a case where running the second attach command
again did not succeed.
