Bug Description

If the glance process is stopped or restarted during an image is being uploaded, this image's status is in 'Saving' state forever. Glance should update its status to be 'error' because this image is not usable at all.

Same for the snapshot of the instance. If the KVMHost is shutdown, the status of the imcomplete snapshot image should be in 'error' state.

Makes sense. This is expected behavior as Glance doesn't claim to handle failures like this. Feel free to push up some code to help treat the problem.

Changed in glance:
status: New → Incomplete
status: Incomplete → Triaged
