Hi,

You are most likely using an older release, have a high number of cinder
RBD volumes, and have not changed configuration option
"rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool" from its default "false" value.

Please add to your driver's section in cinder.conf the following:

rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool = true


And restart the service.

Cheers,
Gorka.
