You could use `qemu-img convert -O qcow2 {raw image} {compressed file}` to convert them to a much smaller size. Why do you need to use volumes for? If you’re using cinder, the image would need to already exist in glance before you can use it for a volume.</div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 3, 2014, at 1:27 PM, Jeff Silverman <<a href="mailto:jeff@sweetlabs.com">jeff@sweetlabs.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Hi.
