Comment 18 for bug 1089989

Hi Dan,

I have looked at this further and I guess it is possible for Cloudstack's "Virtual Router" to also act as a gateway in certain configurations. That may explain why it has worked for some folks. Unfortunately not in my configuration.

I would like to take you up on your offer to help me get a patch through.

I have a cloud-init.log I can share with you from a system with cloud-init 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.17 where it takes nearly 35minutes for cloud-init to finally give up and let the machine finish booting because it is unable to connect to the meta-data server.

I have updated the patch I have been using for a while (pre 1.17) to work on the changes that happened to the Cloudstack datasource 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.17 which I can send you along with the corresponding cloud-init.log

We are in the process of moving over to trusty but I still have a few folks using precise. This would help.

thank you
Carlos
