Then we open the nbdxadm file and read the code, we find the error occurs at this place" try: print nbdxdevice with open(os.path.join(device_path, 'device'), 'w') as device_file: device_file.write(nbdxdevice) print 123 except IOError, e: print 'failed to create device: %s' % e os.rmdir(device_path) return 1 " It seems that it could open and bulid the directory and the file device，but it can't write or modificate the file "device". How can we solute this problem, wish you could help us.

hello, I meet the same problem, are you fixed it?

I have find the solution, just correct "backup_disk" to an exist disk in "install.sh". The error is caused by nbdxadm, a python script.
