Hi Brent

 

The bug reported to horizon is:

When user try to remove the attachment by click the button "Manage Attachments" for the orphan volume, GUI just shows: "Error: Unable to retrieve volume information. ", and cannot open the "Manage Attachments" dialog.

 

Regards

Liang

Hi Liang,

 

Can you explain the relationship to horizon.

The patches address an issue where cinder still believes the volume is attached to a VM but the VM no longer exists.

II am not seeing the horizon connection here.

 

Brent

Hi Lisa

 

The core Eric Harney from redhat has already abandoned the review of this patch.

In the meanwhile, a bug for horizon was created: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1794661

Hi,

 

This email is to discuss whether we can abandon 0009-Pike-Rebase-Enhanced-force-deletion.patch in StarlingX/Cinder.

This patch resolves the problem that a volume is attached to a non-existed VM and can’t be deleted.

 

I talked with Openstack/Cinder community. As Cinder uses new attach/detach workflow, now this problem doesn’t exist.

Users can use “cinder attachment-list” to list all the attachments, and then delete them. After that, the volume can be deleted.

Fang Liang also did such test, it works.

 

So I think we can abandon this patch. Any objections?

 

Best wishes

Lisa
