Description of problem: when we try to create a volume from a snapshot which is in error status we are getting the below error: ERROR: Invalid snapshot: status must be available my first thought when seeing this was that the snapshot itself was not available and not that we are referring to the snapshot's status. I think that if we change it to: 'snapshot's status must be available' it would make the error message a clearer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-cinder-2013.1.2-3.el6ost.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. change openstack to work with external nfs storage 2. create snapshot for a volume 3. create a volume from the snapshot Actual results: we fail to create the snapshot with the following error: ERROR: Invalid snapshot: status must be available Expected results: I think that if we add the word snapshot's before 'status must be available' it will make the error a bit clearer. Additional info:
The error states that the snapshot is invalid, the status should be 'available'.
