CentOS 7 packstack - Instance fails, Error: Volume did not finish being created
Hello there, I installed packstack -allinone on CentOS 7 of openstack ocata. I created a single instance with my manually created image of Lubuntu 16.04. But now i can not create any more instance. Instance creation fails with error -
Build of instance e485ce56-c91c-4a5f-b02a-7a8937264f63 aborted: Volume dbacff49-3263-4728-952d-f4563f70589e did not finish being created even after we waited 3 seconds or 2 attempts. And its status is error.
I have tried with cirros still same problem. But can still start and use the instance of Lubuntu i created with 20GB disk. I have uploaded logs of cinder and nova here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/kokxhq04v6jydzo/logs.tar.gz?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kokxhq04v6j...) . Keep in mind i am a beginner user. Kindly help.
Edit: I can launch instances if i set create new volume to "No". Output of df, pvs and vgs -

I use an ipad and can't see your logs, but my guess is that you have no space left for additional volumes. Packstack implements Cinder volumes on an LVM physical volume that resides on a loopback device of a few GB. Run
df,pvsorvgsfor confirmation.The Horizon instance creation dialog has a flag for volume creation. It's on by default. Reset it and try again; you will then launch an instance whose disk is implemented on ephemeral storage rather than a Cinder volume. That should work if you have no other problems.
Sorry for late reply. I was travelling to another country. There is not enough space here in comment to add output of df, pvs and vgs. I am adding them to the question. One thins is that if i do not create a new volume for a instance it finishes building and i can run it.
I do not see any option to reset the flag in horizon instance creation dialog.
