Everett Toews commented on JCLOUDS-514:
---------------------------------------
For the record, there are two similarly named things that were causing me a bit
of confusion.
AFAICT, when booting a Nova server you can attach block devices or boot from
block devices. The flags in the Nova are similar:
block-device-mapping == attach block devices
block-device == boot from block device
> Need to be able to attach block volumes at instance creation in Nova
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Fix For: 1.8.0

> The Nova API allows for attaching block volumes to an instance at creation
> time, it would be nice to access this feature through JClouds.
