Hi,

I've recently been looking at file and metadata injection in Nova and I have a 
question relating to it.

(BTW this is based off what I have seen in nova/virt/disk.py)

I notice that for key/value pairs specified as metadata during boot of an 
instance these values are injected into a file /meta.js in the instance. 
However if a file (and corresponding injection location) are specified when 
booting the instance the file does not get injected.

I was wondering if there was an intentional decision not to use a similar 
method to that used when injecting meta.js to inject other files? Because it 
seems to me the addition of such functionality would be fairly straightforward.

Also on a vaguely related note why is the metadata injected into a file rather 
than stored in a location where it can be retrieved from the metadata service?

Thanks,

Dave
