Hi Udara, Your right - every time you change a config file value, you need to restart the services using that file (in the case of cinder.conf, restart all of the cinder services): $ sudo service cinder-volume restart $ sudo service cinder-api restart $ sudo service cinder-scheduler restart Regards, Bill Owen billowen at us.ibm.com GPFS and OpenStack 520-799-4829 From: Udara Liyanage <udaraliyanage at gmail.com> To: "openstack at lists.openstack.org" <openstack at lists.openstack.org> Date: 05/23/2014 11:50 AM Subject: [Openstack] How to apply the changes cinder.conf file Hi, I have setup Openstack(folsom) installed by DevStack. I did some configuration changes in cinder.conf file. volume_clear=none # Size in MiB to wipe at start of old volumes. 0 => all # (integer value) #volume_clear_size=0 volume_clear_size=100 How can I apply them to the running Openstack setup.I don't think just by editing the file will not make the changes visible in the running setup. -- Udara S.S Liyanage.
