Comment 44 for bug 590929

I've performed a full re-installation of the frontend as requested.
Before any tests or registration, I've updated all eucalyptus packages to 1.6.2-0ubuntu30.4.
I've also adjusted cluster1.storage.maxtotalvolumesizeingb in the web front end (set to 250).

I did 10 test loops (as usual creating 40 volumes).

 + No Internal Errors were reported.
 + Space available and # of volumes correctly reported in sc-stats.log
 + Deletion worked perfectly

But I found one (just one) failure reported by euca-describe-volumes, 10 seconds after the creation loop :
VOLUME vol-526005D5 1 cluster1 failed 2010-09-15T17:00:32.7Z

A few seconds later, euca-describe-volumes didn't report anything about this failure, weird. But I had only 39 volumes created.

This is what was reported in cloud-error.log:
