Hey, (running Xubuntu12.04.2 + Grizzly)

I want to change the state_path to another partition. After done that in the local compute-node nova.conf and change the owner of the dirs (with sudo chown -R nova:nova nova) comes an error.

nova-compute.log http://paste.openstack.org/show/42446/

nova.conf http://paste.openstack.org/show/42447/

so my question is: How to do that properly? What are the requirements that it works?

thx

I found a solution by myself.

Changing the state_path wasn't a good idea. So I used the the default value for state_path in /var/lib/nova. Now the partition is directly mounted in /var/lib/nova/instances.

/etc/fstab-entry: /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/nova/instances ext3 defaults 0 0

after that:

chown nova /var/lib/nova/instances/

chown nova /var/lib/nova/instances/_base

then it should work.
