OpenStack Cinder删除卷太慢的解决方法

1.让OpenStack删除卷更快
为什么速度这么慢？

当我们执行删除卷命令以后，openstack会尝试去清除卷上的数据，他是如何清除的呢？
其实他是通过dd命令填充空白数据上去（dd if=/dev/zero）。这样子的清理方式目的是
为了彻底的清除数据，保证数据安全。但是对于ceph作为后端存储的情况而言，我们把image删
除了，数据也就相当安全了。这样子的操作并没有太多用处。特别是存储空间大于50GB的情况下，会操作很久。

我们可以做那些什么？
直接修改/etc/cinder/cinder.conf 配置文件：

# Method used to wipe old volumes (string value)
# Allowed values: none, zero, shred
volume_clear = none

openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf DEFAULT volume_clear none

默认值是zero，我们配置成none，就跳过清理这步。如果我们想只清理前100MB呢？

# Method used to wipe old volumes (string value)
# Allowed values: none, zero, shred
volume_clear = zero
 
# Size in MiB to wipe at start of old volumes. 0 => all (integer value)
volume_clear_size = 100

cinder 中clear_volume段代码
    
def clear_volume(volume_size, volume_path, volume_clear=None,
                 volume_clear_size=None, volume_clear_ionice=None,
                 throttle=None):
    """Unprovision old volumes to prevent data leaking between users."""
    if volume_clear is None:
        volume_clear = CONF.volume_clear
 
    if volume_clear_size is None:
        volume_clear_size = CONF.volume_clear_size
 
    if volume_clear_size == 0:
        volume_clear_size = volume_size
 
    if volume_clear_ionice is None:
        volume_clear_ionice = CONF.volume_clear_ionice
 
    LOG.info(_LI("Performing secure delete on volume: %s"), volume_path)
 
    # We pass sparse=False explicitly here so that zero blocks are not
    # skipped in order to clear the volume.
    if volume_clear == ‘zero‘:
        return copy_volume(‘/dev/zero‘, volume_path, volume_clear_size,
                           CONF.volume_dd_blocksize,
                           sync=True, execute=utils.execute,
                           ionice=volume_clear_ionice,
                           throttle=throttle, sparse=False)
    else:
        raise exception.InvalidConfigurationValue(
            option=‘volume_clear‘,
            value=volume_clear)
