Directory /var/lib/glance not owned by "glance" user

[Thiago Martins]

Gusy,

Glance packages from Ubuntu 14.04 have wrong permissions on /var/lib/glance, look:

---
root@controller:~# ll /var/lib/glance/
total 60
drwxr-xr-x 4 glance glance 4096 Apr 14 01:06 ./
drwxr-xr-x 40 root root 4096 Apr 14 04:47 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 glance glance 37888 Apr 14 01:06 glance.sqlite
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 14 01:05 image-cache/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 2 10:40 images/
---

This triggers an error:

---
2014-04-14 04:52:59.475 973 WARNING glance.store.base [4f6aa565-e15e-4201-bb24-417add066796 - - - - -] Failed to configure store correctly: Store filesystem could not be configured correctly. Reason: Permission to write in /var/lib/glance/images/ denied Disabling add method.
---

To fix it, I just did:

---
root@controller:~# chown glance: /var/lib/glance -R
---

Cheers!

Hi Thiago

I think this was fixed in:

glance (1:2014.1~rc2-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

   [ Chuck Short ]
   * New upstream release candidate (LP: #1299055).
   * debian/patches/sql_conn.patch: Refreshed.
   * debian/glance-api.install: Install missing schema.json file.
     (LP: #1307518)

  [ Thomas Bechtold ]
  * debian/glance-common.postinst: Set correct owner/group for /var/lib/glance
    and subdirs only on local filesystems (LP: #1302044).

So this is a dupe of bug 1302044
