(full message at <https://matrix.org/oftc/media/v1/media/download/AZTmW8CPC_jlduQwzBYF65WcAvjnEp26ZxieBB0RtaYAPgGB7vR-SLypK1muVrvpqSh6oNyeUNFNXUP3Wpjm5KlCehYte6EwAG1hdHJpeC5vcmcvYWdPZXR3ZHdYWXpScGdYR2VnUkFpdEx0>)
09:01:56 gibi bauzas: I'm not aware of that
09:02:02 bauzas ack
09:02:23 bauzas my first triage of the last failure was incorrect, I'll add a better gerrit comment
09:03:06 bauzas good news is that I failed three times with three different causes, none of them being related to threading apparently :)
09:03:32 gibi bauzas: you might remember this https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/966446 that prevented the libvirt events to arrive. but your last failure was due to slow re-image and nova timing out waiting for the event from cinder not from libvirt
09:04:01 gibi btw re-image succeeded but after novas timeout
09:08:40 bauzas yeah that's what I figured
09:09:01 bauzas cinder took a while to reimage, nova timed out
10:33:00 frickler fyi just saw a gate failure with two rebuild tests in reqs gate, didn't look into the details, but might be related? https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/69448ba8006646e2857f42c6449434e3
11:21:18 gibi frickler: at least the symptomps are different, in your case the ssh to the guest failed after nova declared the rebuild successfull, in bauzas case nova failed to finish the rebuild
11:22:37 gibi for some reason in your case the tempest test does not dump the guest console log after the failure that would help diagnosing if it is a guest slow startup / kernel crash or something else
11:24:13 gibi I don't see your failure happening frequently in that job on the req repo so I assume it is a one off slowness the worker node
11:24:32 gibi let us know if it repeates
11:27:56 frickler yeah, usually I just recheck these and ignore if they don't repeat, I just though this might match the earlier discussion. thx for checking
11:29:09 gibi thanks for reporting
11:44:20 sean-k-mooney frickler: as an asied there has been no feedback or movement of any kind on https://github.com/cirros-dev/cirros/pull/139 or the other prs/issue i opened a few months ago
11:45:01 sean-k-mooney frickler: its possibel rebuild issue was related to some of those filesystem copy and sync bugs
11:45:10 sean-k-mooney but ya if there isnt a console log its hard to tell
11:45:53 sean-k-mooney for example https://github.com/cirros-dev/cirros/pull/139/changes/d1266a2d73b23fea2d30bb00ef21b645953039e1
11:46:02 sean-k-mooney may have helped.
11:47:44 sean-k-mooney rebuild shoudl cause all the the cirror first both logic to run again so that not a smoking gun in this case but ya had to say unless we can actully see what happend
12:03:52 opendevreview Nathan proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Attach disk.config.rescue in stable device rescue https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1009444
12:28:22 frickler sean-k-mooney: yeah, sadly no real feedback from smoser. I'm not sure yet how to proceed, either simply publish on github and ignore the download site or do a hard fork with a new name
13:49:40 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: melwitt: You previously reviewed my "migrate cinder client config to ksa opts" patch. I've since broken it up into a few smaller patches after review from Mel. I'd appreciate it if you could take a second spin through it before PTG chaos next week, since it unblocks future work to replace cinderclient (and helps with the neutronclient removal also: see last patch)
13:50:09 stephenfin the series starts here https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1003174/ There are a lot of patches but they're all tightly focused. Happy to trade reviews, as always
15:17:36 opendevreview Konrad Gube proposed openstack/nova master: Add assisted volume extend API. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1009077

#openstack-nova - 2026-10-09
11:59:56 lajoskatona Uggla: Hi, our downstream team recently run into this (or to a very similar issue): https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-48801 (thanks gibi for pointing to it)
12:00:47 lajoskatona Uggla: I am not a nova->libvirt->qemu chain specialist but with some reading I started to believe that there is a fix: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/3214bec13d8d4c40f707d21d8350d04e4123ae97 in qemu
12:01:36 lajoskatona at least Qemu folks did something they believe is related to the paused state issues (fix for assertions during paused migrations; rework of late-block-activate logic (#2395, #686))
12:02:36 lajoskatona It was released in Qemu v10.0.0, but currently Nova runs between 6.2.0 and 8.2.2
12:04:08 lajoskatona Uggla: after the long story: wehat do you think about opening a Nova bug, "fix it" with a doc mentioning that it is a qemu bug, and when qemu 10.0.0 is in the nova support matrix, remove the warning from the doc?
12:04:33 lajoskatona I checked this support page: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/libvirt-distro-support-matrix.html
12:24:45 opendevreview Lucas HENRY proposed openstack/nova master: Shut down executors after the RPC servers drain https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1009164
12:29:02 na-te hi, could someone take a look at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1009444 (libvirt rescue fix), CI is green
12:36:42 na-te * hi, could someone take a look at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1009444 (libvirt rescue fix), CI is green, thanks in advance !
13:13:12 Uggla Hi lajoskatona, reading back but that sounds good.
13:27:42 lajoskatona Uggla: so shall I open a bug to track it in Nova launchpad? as I see with ubuntu26 (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/996925/1/reference/runtimes/2027.1.rst ) we will have qemu 10+ for Indri, but I also have to test it myselv to see if the find in gitlog is really fixing the issue with pause
13:36:12 Uggla lajoskatona, yes please.
13:36:27 lajoskatona Uggla: ack
14:16:38 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/os-vif stable/2026.1: ovs: Pass ``multi_queue`` inside ``ifr`` dict for tuntap devices https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/1009778
14:19:07 dansmith lajoskatona: do you know for sure the fix won't be backported by distros?
14:19:54 dansmith it seems weird to me for us to maintain a bug pointer like that, unless it's a fundamental pitfall
15:25:40 lajoskatona dansmith: good question, I am not sure, for example in my test ubuntu24.04 it seems it is not backported.
15:26:59 dansmith point being we could mirror all the potential bugs in our docs, but it seems like a maintenance issue for us and I'm not sure why this one would warrant it necessarily
15:27:02 lajoskatona dansmith: I wait anyway as on the above mentioned devstack I was not able to reproduce, so I have to check how our downstream team run into it and understand better the bugzilla also
15:27:46 dansmith we previously say things like "multifd with postcopy is not supported in <10.0" but that's sort of a thing we are telling them not to turn on in nova until it's supported.. a bug like this could be different across distros
17:32:09 sean-k-mooney i guess they have left but the other thing to note is that nova does not have a max libvir/qemu or a supproted range
17:32:16 sean-k-mooney we only have a min and next min
17:32:39 sean-k-mooney where next min is just telling distro and oepratroat what we wil move too for plannign reaons
17:33:16 sean-k-mooney so qemu 10 is supproted by nova today
17:33:35 sean-k-mooney and it was since it was relesaed and shiped in a supproted distro
17:36:58 sean-k-mooney lajoskatona ^ if you read scroll back later vai the logs. basiclly the idea that "Nova supprot between 6.2.0 and 8.2.2" is invliad
17:43:05 sean-k-mooney so tl;dr i was invovled in digagnoing that oring issue and advicsed agaisn opening a nova bug for this or mentioning it in our docs as this was a qemu issue nto a nova one and i dont think we shoudl include it in our docs
17:43:53 eduardomorais[m] Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my OpenStack. I'm using kolla-ansible 2024.1, and when I try to create a VM through the Horizon dashboard, it gets stuck in an infinite 'spawning' state. However, when I create it via the CLI, it works perfectly fine. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
17:46:51 sean-k-mooney are they both created as the saem user with the same parmaters. i have had issue where for exmple the default in horizon diveraged form nova i..e using BFV by defualt or simialr
17:47:24 sean-k-mooney in general no i the request is the saem there shoudl be 0 delta as nova does not actully know if its coming form horizon or not
17:47:36 eduardomorais[m] same user, flavor, network and image
17:48:16 sean-k-mooney and both are using boot form image using nova provisioned storage?
17:49:36 sean-k-mooney as i said there is a config option to make booting form a cinder volume created form a glance image the default in horizon and i think that is the default at least in devstack when cinder is deployed
17:51:53 eduardomorais[m] I created both of them using ephemeral disks. When I try to create them through the dashboard using a volume, Cinder times out; however, it is working for everything else and there are no error logs, which makes me believe it is not the problem.
17:53:04 sean-k-mooney os that the only casie i have had that happen thace comes to mind. horizong cna have some other defult liek cofnig driver or inlcuding a ssh key by default but neither shoudl cause wahat you describe
17:53:17 sean-k-mooney eduardomorais[m]: i woudl propably set the nova api/service into debug mode
17:53:39 sean-k-mooney and then create a vm with horizon then find the request id and see if you can compare that to a cli request
17:54:03 eduardomorais[m] ok, i will try that, thx
17:54:40 sean-k-mooney if its getting stuck in spawning its proably gettin gstuck in the comptue agent somewhere but again that only makes sense to me if the api request were somehow differnt
17:55:32 eduardomorais[m] ok
