Dear,
   I need to attach some ceph (0.94.6) block devices to our openstack (kilo) running instances (xen 4.4) .
   Nova is able to create volumes, attach a detach (alt least there are no errors)
   The hypervisor can see the blockdevice:

    # rbd -p volumes ls
       volume-xxxxxxxx-7342-434b-9xx1-d046bcxxxxfd

     And the instance xml seems to be ok:

     .................
    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
      <auth username='cinder'>
        <secret type='ceph' uuid='xxxxxxxx-e53a-4xx7-9bc9-9bcc41xxxxe4'/>
      </auth>
      <source protocol='rbd' name='volumes/volume-xxxxxxxx-7342-434b-9xx1-d046bcxxxxfd'>
        <host name='10.10.3.1' port='6789'/>
        <host name='10.10.3.2' port='6789'/>
        <host name='10.10.3.3' port='6789'/>
      </source>
      <target dev='xvdd' bus='xen'/>
      <serial>xxxxxxxx-7342-434b-9xx1-d046bcxxxxfd</serial>
    </disk>

     But there is no way to attach the device to running machine, I only see this error on libxl :

   libxl: debug: libxl.c:3538:libxl_device_disk_add: ao 0x7fe248006080: create: how=(nil) callback=(nil) poller=0x7fe24000ce20

libxl: debug: libxl_event.c:1563:libxl__ao__destroy: ao 0x7fe248006080: destroy

   Seems like qdisk backend is not able to manage the volume

   Any idea?
