We're running our nova-volumes VG on a Netapp mapped LUN to the nova-volume server.

[Openstack] NFS for nova-volume

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has tried setting up nova-volume on NFS backend without making any changes to nova-volume code? There is a Xen Storage Manager Volume driver that can support NFS, but I am looking for a non-Xen solution. http://nova.openstack.org/devref/xensmvolume.html Th

Error codes are also searchable, but I agree that text is even more search-aware. However, also as a Yankee, I often find search results for an error string leading me to a site in, say, Russian or Korean. This is a direct result of log messages NOT being i18n'ed. I suppose it swings both ways

Josh, I think the problem is that there are different levels of logging. DEBUG messages can more safely be forced to English than INFO messages, in my opinion. The compromise solution might be to i18n all logs, but provide error codes which can be looked up and are thus universal and remain u
