Public bug reported: nova-compute does not require the sysfsutils package but it needs the systool command in order to attach volumes to an instance.
The package is currently in "Suggests:" but it really should be in "Depends:" as it is a more critical need as cinder's role grows. 2013-09-20 15:15:45.311 5927 AUDIT nova.compute.manager [req-8afcc898-e03f-413d-bdc1-c2fcd4d7da3e 58c3c715179b4200ac2239aacbb1a72f 1956b09b0dce492fa49e13b7ce59daaa] [instance: ba708594-99cd-4bb2-8ba4-ec209292e06d] Attaching volume fe355986-71e9-4439-b179-c53419e0ff0c to /dev/vdb 2013-09-20 15:15:45.368 5927 WARNING nova.virt.libvirt.utils [req-8afcc898-e03f-413d-bdc1-c2fcd4d7da3e 58c3c715179b4200ac2239aacbb1a72f 1956b09b0dce492fa49e13b7ce59daaa] systool is not installed 2013-09-20 15:15:45.395 5927 WARNING nova.virt.libvirt.utils [req-8afcc898-e03f-413d-bdc1-c2fcd4d7da3e 58c3c715179b4200ac2239aacbb1a72f 1956b09b0dce492fa49e13b7ce59daaa] systool is not installed nova (1:2013.2~b3-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low snippet from debian/control Package: nova-compute Architecture: all Depends: curl, ebtables, gawk, iptables, kpartx, lsb-base (>= 3.0.6), nova-common (= ${binary:Version}), nova-compute-kvm | nova-compute-hypervisor, open-iscsi, parted, qemu-utils, genisoimage, vlan, ${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, adduser Suggests: guestmount, sysfsutils, sg3-utils, multipath-tools Description: OpenStack Compute - compute node ** Affects: cloud-archive Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: nova (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: cloud-archive Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228433 Title: nova-compute needs sysfsutils package moved to depends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/1228433/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
