Hello, Andrew & Joke:

I have the same problem.

If I enable

show_image_direct_url = True
show_multiple_locations = True

on /etc/glance/glance-api.conf

When I create an instance from image, I get:

[Error: Build of instance 5855874c-860c-4ab8-8b3f-08970e220806 aborted: 
Volume 0367557b-4efc-40ab-8fda-932ce0a9f542 did not finish being created 
even after we waited 3 seconds or 2 attempts. And its status is error.].


Thanks!
