I'm having a problem i'm hoping someone can suggest where to look.

I i do 'cinder create' and then 'cinder snapshot-create', and then cinder snapshot-delete, i get a failure as below log trace (the PermissionError).

I am using ceph for my cinder backend.

If I explictly unprotect the snapshot

rbd --pool cinder-volumes --image volume-402dfbbf-78be-4f7b-aa82-b3da24354e05 --snap snapshot-c9433949-7e89-4f43-8d98-ee89cf787242 snap unprotect

I find that it was not unprotected (so indeed OpenStack cinder did not try/did not know to unprotect).

Is anyone else getting this PermissionError when deleting a ceph - cinder snapshow?
