filename in the repository, and references to cloud administrators
within the document texts.

1.) Changing instances of 'cloud administrator'
    to 'administrator'.

2.) Change links from '/admin-guide-cloud/' to
    '/admin-guide/' within the Admin Guide.

3.) Adjust .htaccess file.

Failed to attach volume after detaching

Problem

Failed to attach a volume after detaching the same volume.

Solution

You must change the device name on the nova-attach command. The VM might not clean up after a nova-detach command runs. This example shows how the nova-attach command fails when you use the vdb, vdc, or vdd device names:

# ls -al /dev/disk/by-path/

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 2012-08-29 17:33 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2012-08-29 17:33 pci-0000:00:09.0-virtio-pci-virtio4-part1 -> ../../vdd1

You might also have this problem after attaching and detaching the same volume from the same VM with the same mount point multiple times. In this case, restart the KVM host.
