Commit 342f9172 added stricter checks for the iallocator result in
evacuate mode, but it does this irrespective of the result
status. When the result has failed and (according to the design) the
list of nodes is empty, this code will trigger the following:

    node1# gnt-instance replace-disks -I hail instance14
    Failure: command execution error:
    Groups of nodes returned by iallocator () differ from original groups (default)

After the patch, the result is:

    node1# gnt-instance replace-disks -I hail instance14
    Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
    error type: insufficient_resources, error details:
    Can't compute nodes using iallocator 'hail': Request failed: …

The docstring of the DRBD8 class says:

  … The meta device is checked for valid size and is zeroed on create.

which is not done today, hence we have
http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/issues/detail?id=182

:

  node1# mkreiserfs -f /dev/xenvg/t8
  …
  ReiserFS is successfully created on /dev/xenvg/t8.
  node1# drbdmeta --force /dev/drbd256 v08 /dev/xenvg/t8 0 create-md
  md_offset 0
  al_offset 4096
  bm_offset 36864

  Found reiser filesystem

  This would corrupt existing data.
  If you want me to do this, you need to zero out the first part
  of the device (destroy the content).
  You should be very sure that you mean it.
  Operation refused.

I've tested and even just 1MB is enough to wipe the meta, but let's be
safer and pass a 'clean' meta to drbd.

Note: I didn't copy _WipeDevice from backend.py since it seemed more
complex than needed here.

Each per-group watcher process writes its own instance status file. Once
that's done it tries to acquire an exclusive lock on the global file and
will proceed to read all status file, merging them based on each file's
mtime. If an instance is moved to another group, the newer status will
supersede that of an older file which hasn't yet been updated.

This patch brings a huge change to ganeti-watcher to make it aware of
node groups. Each node group is processed in its own subprocess,
reducing the impact of long-running operations.

The global watcher state file, $datadir/ganeti/watcher.data, is replaced
with a state file per node group ($datadir/ganeti/watcher.${uuid}.data).

Previously a lock on the state file was used to ensure only one instance
of watcher was running at the same time. Some operations, e.g.
“gnt-cluster renew-crypto”, blocked the watcher by acquiring an
exclusive lock on the state file. Since the watcher processes now use
different files, this method is no longer usable. Locking multiple files
isn't atomic. Instead a dedicated lock file is used and every watcher
process acquires a shared lock on it. If a Ganeti command wants to block
the watcher it acquires the lock in exclusive mode.

Each per-nodegroup watcher process also acquires an exclusive lock on
its state file. This prevents multiple watchers from running for the
same nodegroup.

The code is reorganized heavily to clear up dependencies between
functions and to get rid of the global “client” variable. The utility
class “Watcher” is removed in favour of stand-alone utility functions.

Since the parent watcher process won't wait for its children by
default, a new option (--wait-children) was added. It is used, for
example, by QA.

When wait_for_sync is set to False in LUInstanceCreate, Ganeti lets DRBD sync
in the background while performing the rest of the installation steps,
including OS installation.

However, OS installation is a very disk-intensive task that intereferes badly
with the background I/O caused by DRBD's initial sync. To this end, we pause
the background sync before OS installation and unpause it afterwards, which
yields a significant speed boost for OS installation. The following should be
noted:

a) The user has requested not to wait for sync, i.e. the instance will be
   non-redundant for an unspecified interval anyway and delaying this by a
   couple of minutes is not a big compromise.

b) This approach is also followed during disk wiping.
