Hi,
I am trying to launch instance on 2 node Openstack system.
Controller and compute both nodes are on Ubuntu Server 14.04 / intel i5
processor
while booting instance through command prompt as well as from dashboard,
I am getting following error in nova-compute.log
*qemuMonitorOpenUnix : 306 : failed to connect to monitor socket ; no such
a process*
*qemuprocesswaitformonitor : 1915 : internal error : process exited while
connecting throu*
*Could not open backing file. Could not read image for determining its
format : Invalid Argument*
While launching instance I can even see following error in syslog file
nbd8: unknown partition table

EXT4-fs (nbd8): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

Please help to resolve the problem. Is it due to GPT partitioning and How
can I make it understand underlying ext4 partition ? Let me know if need to
give any more details.
Thanks in advance
