The problem lies in here: log output: metadata diff -- value differs for key properties: master "{u'vm_mode': u'hvm'}" vs slave "{'vm_mode': 'hvm'}" ... metadata has changed ...... On doing image compare, glance-replicator gets image metadatas from both master and slave. Then it try to do a 'diff' for these metadatas. If the metadatas are different according to the diff result, metadatas from the master are updated to the slave. The _dict_diff() function are responsible for doing metadate comparing. It translate the metadata dictionary to str before doing compare, but it doesn't handle the situation when metadata dictionary has sub-dictionary. A fix is needed to decode metadata dictionary to str recursively before doing diff, so that sub-dictionary items could also be translated to str.
