[Bug 1328939] Re: Setting instance default_ephemeral_device in Ironic driver should be more intelligent

 

This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going
to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue
of older requests that have come on. If you decide to work on this
consider using a blueprint [1] (maybe with a spec [2]). I'll recommend to 
read [3] if not yet done.

Title:
  Setting instance default_ephemeral_device in Ironic driver should be
  more intelligent

Status in Ironic:
  Triaged
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The instance default_ephemeral_device value needs to be set within the
  nova driver to the partition where the ephemeral partition is created.
  We currently hard code this value to /dev/sda1 to duplicate the old
  nova-bm behavior. While this makes things work for TripleO [1], we
  should do something smarter to determine the true partition value to
  set (e.g., a Cirros image value should be /dev/vda1).

  We could consider using something like udev by-label names (e.g.,
  /dev/disk/by-label/NNN). This obviously adds a requirement on udev.
