While trying to create a logical pool in a Ubuntu 14.04 server I got the following error: [08/Aug/2014:15:52:38] HTTP Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/control/base.py", line 110, in lookup self.info = lookup(*self.model_args) File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/model/host.py", line 274, in lookup return disks.get_partition_details(name) File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/disks.py", line 180, in get_partition_details dev_path = _get_dev_node_path(majmin) File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/disks.py", line 41, in _get_dev_node_path return _get_friendly_dm_path(maj_min) File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/disks.py", line 33, in _get_friendly_dm_path with open(dm_name) as dm_f: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/dev/block/253:5/dm/name' It is because, even the maj_min starts with '253:', the file does not exist. So check this file exists in order to use it, otherwise get the dev path from uevent file.
