Helper code to attach/detach out of OpenStack

OS-Brick is meant to be used within OpenStack, which means that there are some issues when using it on non OpenStack systems.

Here we take care of:

  • Making sure we can work without privsep and using sudo directly
  • Replacing an unlink privsep method that would run python code privileged
  • Local attachment of RBD volumes using librados

Some of these changes may be later moved to OS-Brick. For now we just copied it from the nos-brick repository.

class RBDConnector(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject

“Connector class to attach/detach RBD volumes locally.

OS-Brick’s implementation covers only 2 cases:

  • Local attachment on controller node.
  • Returning a file object on non controller nodes.

We need a third one, local attachment on non controller node.

check_valid_device(path, run_as_root=True)[source]

Verify an existing RBD handle is connected and valid.
