Open Stack

There is currently a review stream coming into Tempest to add Cinder v2
tests in addition to the Cinder v1 tests. At the same time the currently
biggest race fail in the gate related to the projects is
http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/#1373513 - which is cinder
related.

I believe these 2 facts are coupled. The number of volume tests we have
in tempest is somewhat small, and as such the likelihood of them running
simultaneously is also small. However the fact that as the # of tests
with volumes goes up we are getting more of these race fails typically
means that what's actually happening is 2 vol ops that aren't safe to
run at the same time, are.

This remains critical - https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1373513 -
with no assignee.

So we really needs dedicated diving on this (last bug update with any
code was a month ago), otherwise we need to stop adding these tests to
Tempest, and honestly start skipping the volume tests if we can't have a
repeatable success.
