Error casting value to float in lvm.py

[Victor Ruiz]

When I launch the cinder-volume service i get this error:

2013-09-02 21:34:37.310 DEBUG cinder.openstack.common.processutils [req-3901dc67-efaf-4829-8007-363074cdd4ad None None] Running cmd (subprocess): sudo cinder-rootwrap /etc/cinder/rootwrap.conf vgs --noheadings --unit=g -o name,size,free,lv_count,uuid --separator : --nosuffix stack-volumes from (pid=14201) execute /opt/stack/cinder/cinder/openstack/common/processutils.py:142

I fix it change the line 691 of the file cinder/volume/drivers/lvm.py from:

-> data['free_capacity_gb'] = float(self.vg.vg_free_space.replace)

to

-> data['free_capacity_gb'] = float(self.vg.vg_free_space.replace(",","."))

I think someone forgot to parse the float before doing the casting.

Sorry, actually it was:

from:

-> data['free_capacity_gb'] = float(self.vg.vg_free_space)

to

-> data['free_capacity_gb'] = float(self.vg.vg_free_space.replace(",","."))

What locale are you using? I believe this happens because we run "vgs" without setting locale env variables.

The call to "vgs" should pass an LC_NUMERIC or LC_ALL env var so that the output looks the same regardless of system locale.

[Victor Ruiz (victormruizs)]

We are using spanish locale:

victor@openstackserver:~$ locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

[Eric Harney (eharney)]

Another option is to use "vgs --units B" instead of LC_NUMERIC=C, which may make things more clear.

$ sudo vgs
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
  vg_eharney 1 6 1 wz--n- 465.25g 12.97g
(en_US)

$ LC_NUMERIC='C' sudo vgs
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
  vg_eharney 1 6 1 wz--n- 465.25g 12.97g

$ LC_NUMERIC='es_ES.UTF-8' sudo vgs
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
  vg_eharney 1 6 1 wz--n- 465,25g 12,97g

$ sudo vgs --units B
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
  vg_eharney 1 6 1 wz--n- 499558383616B 13925089280B

    Fix error casting value to float in lvm.py

    Special locale setting may result in that "vgs" command output different
    results. Such as:

    $ LC_NUMERIC='es_ES.UTF-8' sudo vgs
    VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
    vg_eharney 1 6 1 wz--n- 465,25g 12,97g

    Fix bug 1219963

    Brick LVM: Set C locale when gathering PV info

    Some locales use commas as decimal separators, which means
    that code breaks when someone expects to be able to use the
    PV size as a float.
