Hi! I'm running a nova cloud (essex) with both linux and windows instances. I want the windows images to boot with an ephemeral pre-formatted ntfs drive.
I've tried setting: virt_mkfs="windows=mkfs.ntfs --force --fast --label %(fs_label)s %(target)s" in nova.conf and I've also set the os_type metadata on the windows image, but nova still uses ext4: 2012-10-29 12:41:24 DEBUG nova.utils [req-33b476e7-6412-4caa-ba51-839c36ab35b0 ec731931e03544d89e46468a3a268d9b 526fedd9083647fbbbc167261f10ecfc] Running cmd (subprocess): mkfs.ext4 -L ephemeral0 -F /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ephemeral_0_20_windows from (pid=10597) execute /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py:219 Cheers, Erik _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
