[Pkg-ganeti-devel] Bug#676930: ganeti2: Keymap options for KVM makes instance startup fail because of a missing directory

[Raphaël Enrici]

Package: ganeti2
Version: 2.5.1-1~bpo60+1
Severity: normal

Hi,

if you add a keymap to an instance this instance fails to start because
ganeti tries
create files in a non-existant directory.

steps to reproduce:
- create an instance named test2
- modify the keymap:
gnt-instance modify -H keymap=fr test2
- start the instance:
gnt-instance start test2
you will get a message telling you the instance failed to start.
Something like:
Failed to start instance test2: exited with exit code 1 (Could not
read keymap file: '/var/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/keymap/test2'
)

To fix the problem, simply create the /var/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/keymap/
directory with the following command:
gnt-cluster command mkdir /var/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/keymap/

Thanks for your work and best regards,
Raphaël
