Bug Description

We have /var/lib/glance/images on an nfs share served from a netapp filer. Netapp exports have .snapshot directories that are read only, and the chown calls in glance-common's postinst fails on them.

I suggest changing chown -R to find -xdev ...

Cheers,

No idea whether the bzr branch is the correct one, but the postinst looks like what I expect.

What? That's nonsense - this is a bug in a released version of ubuntu. It's in the debian/ directory and not in the upstream tarball, but that doesn't make the bug invalid.

---------------
glance (1:2014.1~rc1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ James Page ]
  * d/glance-common.postinst: Don't recursively set permissions on
    /var/lib/glance as it might not be a local filesystem (LP: #1214947).

  [ Chuck Short ]
  * debian/control: Use python-oslosphinx.
  * debian/patches/use-oslo.sphinx.patch: Dropped no longer needed.

  [ Corey Bryant ]
  * New upstream release (LP: #1299055).

This fix breaks the image upload on a fresh install of glance from the cloud archive on precise. The images subdir belongs to root and glance-api can't write its data.

Should I report a new bug?

Thanks.
