Hi Jaime, Thanks for the tip.
I realized late yesterday that allocating and formatting a disk partition requires root permissions, which the oneadmin user doesn't possess. It might be worthwhile to re-think the level of permissions and the write access available to certain block devices. Maybe put oneadmin in the 'disk' group and grant write access on certain partitions on the worker nodes...
Anyway, since this is a one-off installation, I just used virt-manager to create the VM.

Hi Dan, You can look inside the tm_mkimage.sh and modify it accordingly to your needs. For example, you could comment out the line (for nfs driver): 41 exec_and_log "mkfs -t $FSTYPE -F $DST_PATH" regards, Jaime On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 10:36 PM, Dan Yocum <yo...@fnal.gov <mailto:yo...@fnal.gov>> wrote: Hi, I've got a special use case where we'd like to use an entire disk partition, i.e., /dev/sdc, for storage space. Is there a way to create an appropriate template with contextualization to tell Opennebula to NOT create a file and format it, but format a disk partition?
