celery: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u9a6c' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Hello,

I converted a qcow2 image to a raw image into/under vpool mount point, but the device name contains a few Chinese characters. Then vdisks list page became empty and its api returns 500 error.

May 23 15:30:00 Node-43 celery: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u9a6c' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I guess the Chinese chars could be the cause to this issue, so I removed that raw file such as rm /mnt/vpool/xxx.raw . However, the log above still coming out when vdisks list page is accessed. Of coz the page is still empty.

Is that device name saved somewhere? Best regards Yongsheng
