We are now able to preserve ephemeral. Yay.

Title:
  Persistent storage on nodes is not supported

Status in Ironic (Bare Metal Provisioning):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Triaged
Status in tripleo - openstack on openstack:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  At the moment nova baremetal resets the first disk partition when
  deploying, and even when that is worked around (e.g. using a second
  disk) you still can't guarantee the new image lands on a node that had
  appropriate persistent data (e.g. a swift node).

  One long term plan is to teach the baremetal system about cinder
  volumes and use boot --with-volume to land on the same node. When this
  is done the partition table will be preserved on rebuilds / new
  instances.

  However in the short term we want to use the ephemeral feature and
  make it possible to preserve the partition during update -
