Bug Description

The os_cinder tests have a 50% chance of failing due to one of the cinder-volume services not being functional.

The tests are setup to have two services - one on the host and one in a container. The container is meant to be able to have its own lvm vg using a loopback device, but recent changes to LXC now prevent that with the previous implementations [1] to work around it no longer working.

This configuration was setup to ensure that we test two services are executes correctly: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_cinder/commit/879082f204cd848f1423714a3d93943c4c7d9fa6

I can re-work it to do the same with NFS/Ceph instead of LVM to work around this issue.

    Install lvm2 for cinder-volume LVM hosts

    Currently the LVM2 package is installed by the
    openstack_hosts role for the integrated build,
    and by a test playbook for the role tests.

    This does not seem sensible to me - it would
    be better to ensure that the role installs the
    distro packages it need in order to function
    properly.

    Additionally, it is not possible to setup a
    loopback device inside an LXC container after
    some recent updates to LXC. The secondary
    cinder-volume service for LVM2 therefore
    does not work, so it is removed from the
    inventory to buy some time to come up with
    an alternative solution.
