I checked and the disk has plenty of space:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        50G  6.2G   41G  14% /
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev            3.9G   12K  3.9G   1% /dev

none            100M     0  100M   0% /run/user

One google search mentioned checking user is in libvirtd group (it is).  I have 8GB ram with 600+ MB available, when Devstack is running.

I didn’t Cinder was running, but I see cinder-api and cinder-volume processes running in top. These are running on the bare metal config that does work.

This is a Ubuntu 14.04 image for the host (cloud image).

It  seems I either get the problem where the VM is in paused state, or it doesn’t even start up and is in the BUILDING/SPAWNED state forever.
