ephemeral volumes fail to boot

[Dave Walker]

Windows and non-declared os_type images (default to windows) attempt to format ephemeral volumes with mkfs.vfat but fail with this error:

u"Unexpected error while running command.\nCommand: mkfs -t vfat -n ephemeral0 /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ephemeral_1_0706d66\nExit code: 1\nStdout: u''\nStderr: u'mkfs.vfat: No such file or directory\\n'", u'code': 500, u'details': u' File /var/lib/kolla/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nova/compute/manager.py", line 1779, in _do_build_and_run_instance\n filter_properties)\n File "/var/lib/kolla/venv/lib/python2.7/site- packages/nova/compute/manager.py", line 2015, in _build_and_run

Same issue seen if you put any format in the nova.conf

Ideally it should be a nova bug

Not with kolla

Dave Walker has already submitted the patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/444665/1

It is not the nova bug. It is the lack of certain package inside container.
Installation of 'dosfstools' resolves this issue.

    Add mkfs.vfat to nova-compute source images

    Currently Windows and non-declared os_type images (defaults
    to Windows) attempt to format ephemeral volumes with
    mkfs.vfat but fail as this tool is not available in the
    container.

    This is resolved by installing dosfstools on the Source
    builds (as I believe this is handled in binary builds
    through dependencies).
