Comment 5 for bug 1511025

Ok, myself and Niall looked at this.

Short story: we were able to make it work by updating our config, but it took a while to figure out.

 $ glance image-create --disk-format raw --container-format bare --name x1 --file /etc/fstab

Basically -- like a lot of folks -- we were using a devstack install and trying to switch it from Single tenant mode to Multi tenant mode.

We switched on multi-tenant:

swift_store_multi_tenant = True

But saw failures.

The trick was to comment out the following lines:

# default_swift_reference = ref1
#swift_store_config_file = /etc/glance/glance-swift-store.conf

These were confusing some of the spagetti^H^H^H logic around the correct swift_url. (As Clay found, the keystone url was being used, not the swift one.)

I'll add some feedback to this documentation change: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/242583/

We could also look at not starting the server if the config is not self consistent.
