I just installed openstack and im still learning everything I can get my
hands on , from youtube videos to openstack docs and just thought I can join
a mailing list to speed up the process of acquiring openstack knowledge.

This is my case : I have openstack all_in_one and right now everthing is
just on one machine [from reading the docs seems like I can expand my
openstack projects [cinder ,nova etc] to other nodes and that will be for
later]

Right now I have installed the RDO icehouse packstack and its on a centos
machine , with 4 gig. So far so good.On the same machine I have configured a
/home directory with 1 terabyte for storing my images and when I open
openstack dashboard , I cant seem to find a way to reference it ,how can I
add that filesystem as my storage for my VMs

My filestystem is as follows

[root at cumulonimbus ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_cumulonimbus-lv_root
-------------------------------------------on open stack dashboard ,it seems
to recognize this only

Sounds like you're looking for instances path?  In other words the location you want the qcow files for the instances to live?

That's set up in the nova.conf file as: instances_path

Check out the docs page here and see if that helps.  Items like conf settings don't show up in the dashboard by the way.

Thanks,
