[Openstack-operators] Cannot create Instances

I once had issues when converting instances. Upgrading to upsteam Qemu 
1.3(.1) (merged with KVM code) fixed the bug.

Which version are you using, on which distro ?
Anyway, upgrading to qemu 1.3 is worth a try as there are many 
improvements (qemu-img check -r, GlusterFS support natively and so on...)

I guess the image is QCOW ?
