No, this is not enabled in our environment, it's still the default "false". Zitat von Sean Mooney <smooney@redhat.com>:

Hi *,
I stumbled across a different issue when I noticed there's a <UUID>_del directory in /var/lib/nova/instances/. It's a shared directory to enable live-migration. I noticed these "_del" directories before but I didn't really investigate, everything seems to work as expected. But I would like to understand what exactly happens with such a directory, for example currently there's just one instance having also a _del directory. The timestamp is from 2 years ago when the instance was resized the first time. Looking in the nova code [1] I found the reference to the resize function, I just don't quite understand what would happen with that instance if it was shutdown.
Would nova delete it to "clean up"? Can I remove that directory safely to prevent nova from doing anything destructive to that instance?
I'd appreciate any insights about this. Just to be safe I created an RBD snapshot of the disk to prevent a deletion. have you enabled https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#workarounds...
