So, the libguestfs files in /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d are the
*cache* and libguestfs never removes those files.

(Double-checked with libguestfs maintainers.)

And Nova _shouldn't_ delete those files either; that's wrong.

Instead, we suggest to use a tool like `systemd-tmpfiles`; from its man
page:

"`systemd-tmpfiles` creates, deletes, and cleans up volatile and
temporary files and directories, based on the configuration file format
and location specified in tmpfiles.d(5)"

So we should close this bug as "invalid", afraid.

  Boot instance with metadata will remain some images in '/var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d' when this compute_node config CONF.libvirt.inject_partition=-1.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================
  1) Config inject_partition=-1(/etc/nova/nova.conf) in compute_node.
  2) boot instance with metadata on this compute_node.
  3) boot instance success but some images were remained. 

  
  Expected result
  ===============
  In the end of booting instance, can remove those images in /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d

  Actual result
