Re: Change Ephemeral Disk FS

 

Hi,

I think this only way is to edit the code like so:

   - go to the line 66
   of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/disk/api.py
   - and change to  'default=mkfs.ext4 -L %(fs_label)s -F %(target)s',

Make sure to purge your /var/lib/nova/instances/_base
It worked for me :)

Let me know if it's ok :)

Cheers!
