Oh, we don't want to get super fancy with it. We would probably only
support one filesystem type and not partitions. E.g. You request a 120GB

This would need to happen on the cinder side on creation. I don't think it is
safe for nova to be modifying the contents of the volume on attach. That said
nova does currently set the serial number on attach (for libvirt at least) so
the volume will show up as:

Since we can't guarantee that a volume, when attached, will become a
specified device name, we would like to be able to create a filesystem and
label it (so that we can programmatically interact with it when
provisioning systems, services, etc).
What we are trying to decide is whether this should
