I'm going to close this with prejudice: having thought about it, this
would lead to unencrypted - or sniffable keys - same thing - disclosure
of root passwords.

Title:
  baremetal deploy does file injection on local disk

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Currently, baremetal deploys do the following:
   - download the image to the nova-compute host per-bm-node
   - convert to raw
   - mount
   - fiddle with contents
   - umount
   - iscsi mount the target
   - dd
   - iscsi umount

  If we instead did:
   - download the image to the nova-compute host per-glance-uuid
   - convert to raw
   - iscsi mount the target
   - dd
   - mount
   - fiddle with contents
   - umount
   - iscsi umount

  Then we wouldn't need a local image per target machine (we can
  reproduce the injection as needed from the source image). This would
  free up many GB or even TB on large deployments, and is compatible
  with the long term desire to make disk injection either non-existent,
  or at least optional.
