This commit from friday seems to have broken quantum + devstack in a subtle way: https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/commit/17ff9763da677f3db0339a395c558cdb881d5d56
It changes stack.sh so that quantum config files are copied to /etc/quantum and edited, rather than edited directly in /opt/stack/quantum/etc . The problem is that when Quantum loads, it checks a variety of locations for a possible configuration files, and it always checks for an etc/ directory in the current directory first, before checking /etc/quantum (see: python-quantumclient/quantum/common/config.py) . Because the config files modified by stack.sh are in /etc/quantum, not the local etc/ directory, a fresh Quantum will always start with the SamplePlugin, rather than the plugin configured by stack.sh, leading to great confusion :) Note: the patch is also broken in that it moves the ovs_quantum_plugin.ini file directly to /etc/quantum, rather than to /etc/quantum/plugins/openvswitch . I'm not sure if the committer had a real reason to make this change, or if they were just trying to make Quantum more like other openstack services. So I'll give them the option of either reverting the fix, or cleaning it up :) However, this also highlights the fact that Quantum's mechanism for searching for conf files is no longer inline with other projects like nova (it likely was when Quantum was started as a project). For example: it seems that the find_config_files method in nova/openstack/common/cfg.py no longer looks for a etc/ directory in the local dir. This again emphasizes the importance of OpenStack common. To that end, I've added work to leverage the openstack common library to our list of "community projects": http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumStarterBugs . A while back, I did some of the ground work to identify chunks of code that would be well suited for moving into openstack common, so anyone who is interested can easily get started.
