[ovirt-users] Re: [=EXTERNAL=] Re: help using nvme/tcp storage with cinderlib and Managed Block Storage

So I started looking in the logs and tried to follow along with the code, but things didn't make sense and then I saw it's ovirt 4.3 which makes things more complicated :) Unfortunately because GUID is sent in the metadata the volume is treated as a vdsm managed volume[2] for the udev rule generation and it prepends the /dev/mapper prefix to an empty string as a result. I don't have the vdsm logs, so I am not sure where exactly this fails, but if it's after [4] it may be possible to workaround it with a vdsm hook In 4.4.6 we moved the udev rule triggering the volume mapping phase, before starting the VM. But it could still not work because we check the driver_volume_type in[1], and I saw it's "driver_volume_type": "lightos" for lightbits In theory it looks like it wouldn't take much to add support for your driver in a future release (as it's pretty late for 4.5)

The cinderlib and cinder driver bits are working fine but when ovirt tries to attach the device to a VM we get the following error: >> > >> > libvirt: error : cannot create file '/var/run/libvirt/qemu/18-mulivm1.dev/mapper/': Is a directory >> > >> > We get the same error regardless of whether I try to run the VM or try to attach the device while it is running.
