Re: weird nova attach of a volume

followup on this,
what I think is going on:
I have an image that I am tweaking and snapshot'ing.
the snapshot process remembers that a volume is attached to it
but doesnt attach the volume to it when you launch a new copy of
the snapshot.
ideally snapshot shouldnt save what volumes are currently attached to it.

filing bug.
