[PKG-Openstack-devel] uid/gid reservations for nova, glance and cinder

[James Page]

Hi All

A number of OpenStack storage integration's rely on shared file systems
(GPFS being my case in point at the moment - see [0]).  As a result any
inconsistency between deployed machines in the uid/gid allocation of the
nova, glance and cinder users and groups results in some general uglyness
with permissions on the shared file systems being used.

I'll file a bug to request UID/GID reservations for these users and groups
for Debian and Ubuntu (base-passwd is aligned across the two distros).
Obviously up to the Debian OpenStack maintainers for nova, glance and
cinder if they which to use these, but I felt it courteous to a least let
you know!

Cheers

James
