Openstack Instance snapshots returns 0 bytes

Removing private security since this doesn't describe a vulnerability.

Hi Tristan,

Kindly let me know if you require more details on this bug.

Going to need more details about this. What is the recreate scenario? What type of instance is it - is it volume-backed or using nova local disk (ephemeral)?

Are there errors in the nova-compute logs during the snapshot? Are there errors in the Glance logs? Is a snapshot image created in glance and if so, what are the details about that (image show output)? Is the image uploading?

Which virt driver are you using? Which glance image backend are you using?

What type of instance is it - is it volume-backed or using nova local
disk (ephemeral)?

We are launching an instance using cinder volume-backed, when we create an snapshot of the instance as well as volume which in dashboard shows 0 byte on successfull snapshot creation.

Nova local disk(ephemeral) - when we create an snapshot it gives succeessful result and we are able to restore the volume and can launch an instance using the volume.

Are there errors in the nova-compute logs during the snapshot? Are there
errors in the Glance logs? Is a snapshot image created in glance and if
so, what are the details about that (image show output)? Is the image
uploading?

We are not seeing any error logs in compute logs as well as glance logs except below INFO from glance registery.log

We are not able to create an image from the snapshot since its size is "0 byte"

Which virt driver are you using? Which glance image backend are you
using?

Virt dirver is KVM

Glance image backend is Glusterfs

Please let us know if you require additional information on this.

I am trying to take fully configured instance running on cinder volume as snapshot and from the snapshot we would like to launch instances.

While taking cinder volume snapshot it fails with 0 bytes. However,while taking snapshot of instances running on ephemeral storage works fine. I doubt there could be some cinder configuration missing with glance-api.conf and glance-registry.conf

The following cinder entries are commented out in glance config file - please suggest if this is fine or need to add cinder entries.

/etc/glance/glance-api.conf

 -bash-4.2$ sudo grep -e ^#cinder -e ^cinder /etc/glance/glance-api.conf

Hi There,

It would be really helpful if we have any updates on the above issue???
