Bug Description
This bug is in Openstack Pike, I dont have the possibility to test in master at the moment.
The user can have a instance that is booted from volume. The user is at the page horizon/
In the Create Snapshot dialog he puts the name of the snapshot, and there is no other information available about this quota.
When the user goes beyond quota to create cinder snapshots we observe this in the cinder backend:
2018-05-04 13:43:13,172.172 24030 WARNING cinder.quota_utils [req-562b1787-
However the user in Horizon gets this error message in a red window at the top right corner:
Error: unable to create snapshot.
It does not get any indication that the problem is the quota.
Other workflows, like making a Cinder snapshot from the volume list, report correctly that it is a quota problem.
This is a problem because the user does not understand that it is a problem with his quota, and he complains with the Openstack admins believing it is a backend error.
