[Openstack] Help with spawning VMs

Thanks for responding.

I had already encountered and fixed that issue, or so I thought. IIRC
Packstack uses a loopback file that defaults to only 20G, so I reformatted
my drive, creating a cinder-volumes vg that held about half of the space
free. I'm able to create volumes just fine, about as large as I like. It
just spins when I try and spawn the instance. I thought if might have
something to do with my network config, so I scaled back from 3 nodes to 1,
but the spinning still occurs. I don't have the logs with me now, but I can
look again tomorrow. As I recall though, that snippet was the only thing
jumping out at me.
