Summary: 3.1 - VDSM [Scalability]: 'OSError' during refreshStoragePool mkdir that fails over File exists.

Fixed In Version: vdsm-4.9.6-41.0 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when attempting to activate five or six storage domains at the same time, refreshStoragePool attempted to create a folder that already existed, which caused an "OSError [Errno 17]" to be thrown. This issue was caused by a race condition in fileUtils.createdir(). An updated version of VDSM now creates the target directory; if the target directory already exists, VDSM ensures that the directory has the correct permissions, and "OSError [Errno 17]" is not thrown.

Description Omri Hochman 2012-07-09 12:41:15 UTC
VDSM: refreshStoragePool attempted to mkdir an exists folder and failed with 'OSError: [Errno 17] File exists:'.

Description: 
***********
I worked on scale environment with 40 hosts and 100 iSCSI Storage-Domains (EMC Machine), When attempted to activate several (5-6) Storage Domains at the same time, refreshStoragePool attempted to mkdir folder that was already exist It returned OSError [Errno 17].  

Note: 
*******
might be related - the SSL request of the refreshStoragePool command took long time (more than 4 minutes) it failed on timeout with "BrokenPipe" Error (same Thread-38098 at vdsm.log).
