Hello Cinder -

I’d like to note that for issue
https://bugs.launchpad.net/oslo.db/+bug/1417018, no solution that actually
solves the problem for Cinder is scheduled to be committed anywhere. The
patch I proposed for oslo.db is on hold, and the patch proposed for
oslo.incubator in the service code will not fix this issue for Cinder, it
will only make it fail harder and faster.

I’ve taken myself off as the assignee on this issue, as someone on the
Cinder team should really propose the best fix of all which is to call
engine.dispose() when first entering a new child fork. Related issues are
already being reported, such as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1430859. Right now Cinder is very
unreliable on startup and this should be considered a critical issue.
