Hi Chris,
We have tried to reproduce it in two blades that have the same configs.
They are all empty of instance from very beginning. What we see that the
scenario happens in one blade, another works as expect. Of course we use
qcow image.
If i use the below calculation, it can explain the scenario but why it
does not happen in the another blade that has the same config? Does it
relate to the worst case you mention? (Since there is no instance
running before reproducing then i could not find out what worst case
happening)
- Free_disk = Total(file_system) - Total(actual disk used by instances)
- _base directory
- Overcommit = Total(virtual size of instances) - Total(actual disk used
by instances)
- Avai_disk_least = Free_disk - Overcommit
Cheers,
Tuan

Hi Chris,
Actually, the system does not belong to us therefore we only had the log file.
But it seems reasonable that besides the size of ephemeral diisk in _base, we
also have the image of vm downloaded from Glance that consumes the disk
capacity. That can make the strange value of disk_over_commit.
I will check this situation later. Btw, thank you for your help.

Hi Chris,
Yes we used qcow image. However I still have something not clear. What I know
is that:
- disk_available_least = free_disk - disk_over_commit
- disk_over_commit = int(virt_size) - physical_disk_size
Before launching:
- free_disk = 1025
- disk_available_least = 1016
If we use the normal flavor with 600Gb disk and no ephemeral., the result is
good with both above value subtract 600Gb.
If we use the flavor without disk but 600Gb ephemeral, the result of
disk_available_least = -184.
Just a thought...did you clear out the _base directory between tests? Or is
there maybe an extra backing file sitting there consuming space?
