Any clues on how to debug or fix this next?
Many thanks - Nell
Hi Nell,
I'm not really sure what your issue is (I never used the NFS for Nova), though you have to know that if you're using Debian or Ubuntu, the UIDs aren't what's in the standard. They should be:
nova: 64060 cinder: 64061 glance: 64062
These have been reserved by James Page a long time ago, through the normal Debian procedure (James: what's the name of that ?!?), and cannot (should not?) be used by another application.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
Many thanks for this Thomas. I am using OpenStack Caracal packages on Ubuntu Jammy (using cloud-archive:caracal), so I'm surprised I'm not seeing those numbers. Aha, my setup script creates the nova user with useradd -m -p password -s /bin/bash nova _before_ installing the nova packages. I wonder if this is indeed the problem... Best wishes - Nell
