[Openstack] Is there a way to tell Nova not to count NFS-mounted instances directory to disk space on each node?

You are correct, but it does it by creating a temporary file on one node  
and testing for it on the other node. Kind of ugly, and this technique  
doesn't work for the "evacuate" case where one of the compute nodes is down.  

Also, the "nova host-evacuate" command currently cannot handle a mix of  
instances on local storage and instances booting from cinder volumes  
(which counts as shared storage, as far as I can tell). So you have to  
do all of one type one at a time, and then you can do the rest all in a  
bunch.
