Kilo glance filesystem_store_metadata_file: failed to configure store correctly

CDWERTMANN — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:28:24 GMT

I've been using the filesystem_store_metadata_file JSON format in glance in the past successfully as described here:

http://netapp.github.io/openstack-deploy-ops-guide/kilo/content/section_glance-deployment-choices.html#glance.rapid_cloning

I was able to clone glance images into cinder volumes instantly. Now with Kilo, glance-api complains:

2015-04-29 19:19:23.984 10754 WARNING glance_store.driver [-] Failed to configure store correctly: Store filesystem could not be configured correctly. Reason: The JSON in the metadata file /etc/glance/meta.json is not valid and it can not be used: 'id' is a required property

Failed validating 'required' in schema['items']:

{'properties': {'id': {'type': 'string'},

'mountpoint': {'type': 'string'}},

'required': ['id', 'mountpoint'],

'type': 'object'}

On instance[0]:

{u'mount_point': u'/var/lib/glance/images',

u'share_location': u'nfs://10.10.1.9/vol/tier1',

u'type': u'nfs'}. Disabling add method.

I made a new JSON file with the mountpoint and id inside, however how do I now pass the share_location? Does anyone have an example how this would work?
