Chris Krough commented on LIBCLOUD-402:
---------------------------------------
The KB article states:
{quote}
On October 1st 2013, we will be adjusting the default Disk Partition option to
Manual for our Linux base images as part of our ongoing commitment to align
with other OpenStack deployments and increase portability. This change is being
rolled out to all of our base Linux images, but you will always retain control
to select the Disk Partition option that best meets your needs.

but, creating your first server with manual partitioning causes Rackspace to
automatically generate a notification (via support ticket) which includes the
following bit:
{quote}Will this disrupt my automation?
Beginning on September 1st, new Linux operating system images will be uploaded
(with new Image IDs) with their default mode set to "Manual". If you continue
to use the existing Image IDs, servers will continue to be built with Disk
Config set to "Automatic". We recommend using the latest images (by name) when
possible, so you may wish to modify your automation to pass in the "Automatic"
disk configuration when building servers if you require greater than a 20 GB
root partition.

It's unclear whether the KB article is saying that they will go back and change
existing images.
