I have followed installation guide from this link http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt/content/nova-compute.html (http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/in...)

I have successfully configured 3 nodes controller, compute and network all using ubuntu server 14.04 on virtualbox. In horizon I can see that my instance has been assigned an IP address but will just keep on spawning.

I had this error when creating an instance (compute bash not in any logs) * This is right after I press enter on nova boot from controller node

VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

FAT-fs bogus number of reserved sector

unexpected reply

I believed I have exhausted google but found little regarding this error. Could someone please shed light or point me to a direction on how I can troubleshoot this error.

Error logs appeared on the compute bash when I run nova boot from the controller.

I have followed the recommended/default settings when installing base OS.

Here's what I get when running fdisk -l
