Fixed In Version: openstack-cinder-2013.2-0.4.b2.el6ost
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the Block Storage service incorrectly allowed users to attempt cloning a snapshot into a smaller volume. The attempt only failed when the volume filled up as expected during the volume creation process. With this fix, the Block Storage service will now check the volume size argument whenever users attempt to clone a snapshot. As a result, the Block Storage service will automatically fail any attempts to clone a snapshot into a smaller volume before even initiating the clone.

Description Giulio Fidente 2013-06-11 11:28:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
when creating a snapshot based volume, it is currently permitted to pass as size argument a value smaller than the actual snapshot size

the volume creation terminates with an error as soon as the backing volume is filled

the API could get smarter and enforce the user to use as size a value greater or identical to the snapshot size


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openstack-cinder-2013.1.1-4.el6ost.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a 2g volume (vol1)
2. create a snap of vol1 (snap1)
3. create a 1g volume from snap1 (vol2)


Actual results:
creation starts and reports failure when the backing LV is full


Expected results:
API returns error and doesn't initiate the operation
Comment 1 Eric Harney 2013-06-11 12:23:04 UTC 
It's not clear to me that this is severe enough to be worth backporting.
