After further investigation libguestfs was not installed which caused
nova-compute to hang as stated in bug description.

Move to 2013.2.2 , nova no longer hangs if libguestfs is not installed
but still throws errors in nova-compute :

sudo nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf mount /dev/nbd7 /tmp/openstack-vfs-localfsPfAFxU
Exit code: 32
Stdout: ''
Stderr: 'mount: you must specify the filesystem type\n'.
Cannot resize. is_image_partitionless /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/disk/api.py:183

Closing as not a bug.

** Changed in: nova
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  libvirt_inject_partition -2 instances fail to spawn

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using 2013.2.1 from Ubuntu packages.

  I want prevent libvirt from injecting anything in to any image so I
  set:

  libvirt_inject_partition =  -2 in nova.conf

  Then proceed to launch and instances (cirros).

  I still see nova trying to mount the instances disk. Why?

  sudo nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf mount /dev/nbd7 /tmp/openstack-vfs-localfsPfAFxU
  Exit code: 32
  Stdout: ''
  Stderr: 'mount: you must specify the filesystem type\n'. 
  Cannot resize. is_image_partitionless /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/disk/api.py:183

  The instance goes in spawning state forever and running nova-manage
  service-list I can see my HV is now disconnected:

  nova-compute     hv10                                 nova
  enabled    XXX   2014-02-25 04:47:29

  On the HV:
  service nova-compute status
  nova-compute start/running, process 23144

  ps -ef | grep -i nova :
  nova     23144     1  0 20:38 ?        00:00:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/nova-compute --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf --config-file=/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

  So compute is running but no longer sending any updates.

  No trace back in the logs.

  Last message in the logs is :

  Stderr: 'mount: you must specify the filesystem type\n'. Cannot resize. is_image_partitionless /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/disk/api.py:183

  Restarting nova-compute brings the HV back to life:

  nova-compute     hv10                                 nova
  enabled    :-)   2014-02-25 05:15:22

  This is reproducible 100% on my setup with multiple compute nodes.

  Thanks..
