The image will never be "transferred", the root volume will just always live on a writable CEPH snapshot. ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
[openstack-dev] [Openstack] Some question about image provision in openstack
Hi, I come across two question about the image provision and distribute in openstack(nova), 1.Afaik, in current version, nova-compute use the curl to download image from glance (or other places). Are there any alternative methods to choose (such torrent)? 2.In fact, to boot a VM above hypervisor, there is no need to transfer the whole image-file to local. Will the mechanism to transfer the image on demand makes sense? Thanks, Pengfei Have a nice holiday!

[openstack-dev] [Openstack] Some question about image provision in openstack
Hi, I come across two question about the image provision and distribute in openstack(nova), 1.Afaik, in current version, nova-compute use the curl to download image from glance (or other places). Are there any alternative methods to choose (such torrent)? 2.In fact, to boot a VM above hypervisor (e.g.,KVM, Xen), there is no need to transfer the whole image-file to local. Will the mechanism to transfer the image on demand on VM booting process makes sense? Thanks, Pengfei Have a nice holiday!
