Title:
  Volume attached at different path than reported by nova/cinder when
  using config drive

Status in Cinder:
  Invalid
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  When booting a node with config drive then attaching a cinder volume
  we see conflicting information about where the cinder volume is
  attached. In this case the config drive is at /dev/vdb, the cinder
  volume is at /dev/vdc but volume show reports the cinder volume to be
  at /dev/vdb.

  This shows how one can get nova/cinder in this state using
  openstackclient (assuming that config drives attach to /dev/vdb):

  As a workaround we have specified the device path when attaching the volume but this is apparently deprecated and not expected to work properly. Therefore it is important that volume show report the correct device path.

  One possible option here if libvirt cannot provide this info reliably
  is that cinder/nova seem to reliably use /dev/by-id/virtio-
  someportionofvolumeuuidhere. The api could possibly return this path
  instead since it is deterministic.
