Restrating the compute service while taking snapshot of vm makes the snapshot stuck in saving state

[Satya Sanjibani Routray]

Branch: diablo Stable

1. Create a vm and wait till active
2. Take a snapshot of vm
3 while taking snapshot restart the compute service of the node where the vm is created

Observation: snapshot stuck in saving state

expected: Snapshot should go to Error state or should come to active state

Lots of things were changed in that area in Essex. Any chancxe you could reproduce that on current or Essex ?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

We cannot solve the issue you reported without more information. Could you please provide the requested information ?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

This bug lacks the necessary information to effectively reproduce and fix it, therefore it has been closed. Feel free to reopen the bug by providing the requested information and set the bug status back to ''New''.

I could reproduce the issue, due to a bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1075556) in snapshotting instance, which left the snapshot in 'queued' state. Also, after restarting the Compute service, the snapshot continues to stay in 'queued' state.

Therefore, resetting the bug status to New.

Changing status based on last comment.

Since this is Medium priority and unassigned, I'm moving it off of the grizzly-rc1 blocker list and into the "nice to have for grizzly" list (tagged with grizzly-rc-potential).

Should probably be fied in the same run as bug 1143659 and bug 1064386...
