There appears to be a quite neat way to do this using a filter-scheduler configuration and a prefix on the nodes themselves.</div><div><br></div><div>If we take it a step further, I'd like to know if there is a way we can run instances that use local-to-the-node disk storage for boot <span style="font-weight: bold; ">and</span> shared storage for the vm stores at the same time.
