openstack builder hangs when using use_blockstorage_volume if volume size is too small

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @puetzk as hashicorp/packer#6957. It was migrated here as a result of the Packer plugin split. The original body of the issue is below.

From hashicorp/packer#6956 (comment)

If the value determined by GetVolumeSize is actually too low, perhaps an image with no value set for MinDiskGigabytes, in a format (e.g. qcow2) where the file is considerably smaller than the minimum volume that can unpack it, the volume is created but the status shown in cinder list becomes "error". WaitForVolume doesn't seem to recognize this case, and just keeps looping (and waiting) indefinitely), since volumes.Get is succeeding (the GUID does exist and has a status to read), and "error" != "available".

[puetzk]

I believe this issue remains valid in that WaitForVolume seems unchanged, and will only exit for network errors

packer-plugin-openstack/builder/openstack/volume.go

Line 21 in ae11779

if ok && (errCode.Actual == 500 || errCode.Actual == 404) {

and successful completion

packer-plugin-openstack/builder/openstack/volume.go

Line 35 in ae11779

if status == "available" {

So it will continue to wait and re-check if the service is reporting status == "error", even though nothing is going to change. However, our company has shut down their openstack environment, so it is no longer important to me specifically, and I would not have an environment in which to test any changes.
