<p><font face="sans-serif">Hi </font><br>
<font face="sans-serif"> We are trying to fix some eph disk related bugs and also considering our private driver implementation based for eph disk ,so this is not a usage question ,instead, it's a development question</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif"> </font><font face="Default Sans Sarif">I have some questions related "ephemeral_gb" in flavor and nova boot option "--ephemeral", and I failed to find out descriptions in existing documents:</font><br>
</p><ul style="padding-left:18pt"><font face="Default Sans Sarif">1. If I boot a new instance using flavor with "ephemeral_gb" defined as 20 G, and no "--ephemeral" specified, does the new instance have a 20G additional ephemeral disk after booted? </font><br>
</ul></div></blockquote><div><font face="Default Sans Sarif">ephemeral_gb means the maximum value allowed , need option </font><font face="Default Sans Sarif">--ephemeral to provide actual value, otherwise, no ephemeral disk is created. The swap option has same behavior with </font><font face="Default Sans Sarif">ephemeral_gb </font></div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><ul style="padding-left:18pt">
<font face="Default Sans Sarif">2. The flavor has 20 G ephemeral disk defined, but specified two 5 G ephemeral disk through "--ephemeral" option in nova boot cmd, what will happen to the new instance? Get one 20G additional ephemeral? Or two 5 G ephemeral disks instead?</font><br>
<font face="Default Sans Sarif">3. If the answer to question 2 is "two 5 G ephemeral disks", what will happen if resize this instance to a flavor with "ephemeral_gb" defined as 40 G?</font><br>
<font face="Default Sans Sarif">4. I think the "ephemeral_gb" in flavor means maximum disk size you can specified, is this understanding correct? </font><br>
<font face="Default Sans Sarif">5. Also, above question can be applied to swap disk </font></ul>
