Open Stack

Hey all,

I am back to this nova processes/threads configuration.
Here is what I have in my apache wsgi config:
$ grep WSGIDaemonProcess /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/10-nova-api.conf
  WSGIDaemonProcess nova-api display-name=nova-api group=nova processes=1 python-home=/opt/openstack/nova python-path=/opt/openstack/nova/ threads=1 user=nova

As you can see, I set 1 process, and 1 thread.

But here is the result after restarting apache:

$ ps -ef | grep nova
nova      8535  8527  4 09:10 ?        00:02:15 nova-api          -k start

$ ps -o pid -o thcount -p8535
  PID THCNT
 8535     4

So, nova-api is running 4 threads!

I am running nova stein.

I checked in nova code but I am far from beeing an expert on the subjet,
so does anyone can give me a clue on why nova is doing threading, while
it should not?

Thanks in advance,
