Hello Dmitry,

This is off the topic of original email but related to RBD.

Looking through the code of LibvirtDriver._get_instance_disk_info() I noticed that it only returns data for disks with <source file=...> or <source dev=...> but not <source proto=...> so RBD backed instances would be incorrectly reported to have no ephemeral disks. I don't know if this is already handled somehow by RBD code but just wanted to bring it to your attention since you seem to be working on RBD support.

Best regards,
Dan

I've got a bit of good news and bad news about the state of landing
the rbd-ephemeral-clone patch series for Nova in Juno.

The good news is that the first patch in the series
(https://review.openstack.org/91722 fixing a data loss inducing bug
with live migrations of instances with RBD backed ephemeral drives)
was merged yesterday.

The bad news is that after 2 months of sitting in review queue and
only getting its first a +1 from a core reviewer on the spec approval
freeze day, the spec for the blueprint rbd-clone-image-handler
(https://review.openstack.org/91486) wasn't approved in time. Because
of that, today the blueprint was rejected along with the rest of the
commits in the series, even though the code itself was reviewed and
approved a number of times.

Our last chance to avoid putting this work on hold for yet another
OpenStack release cycle is to petition for a spec freeze exception in
the next Nova team meeting:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Nova

If you're using Ceph RBD as backend for ephemeral disks in Nova and
are interested this patch series, please speak up. Since the biggest
concern raised about this spec so far has been lack of CI coverage,
please let us know if you're already using this patch series with
Juno, Icehouse, or Havana.

I've put together an etherpad with a summary of where things are with
this patch series and how we got here:
