<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Georgios,<br><br>1. I haven't seen that problem in my environment using pre-build cloud images. But I haven't build an image from scratch myself except using the magic "build-openstack-debian-image" command in debian.<br>
</div><div> But this is certainly not the expected behavior. A well-built cloud image should create the exact number of NICs according to nova/libvirt's request.<br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Resizing the root filesystem is done using file system specific tools like resize2fs and xfs_growfs.

Two silly questions regarding the images created by cloud-init:<br>
<br>
1) Is the following an expected behavior?<br>
Step1: Taking a snapshot of a working instance<br>
Step2: Launching a new instance from the snapshot<br>
Step3: The new instance is booting but the network fails since it already has eth0 and a new eth1 is allocated to the new instance.<br>
<br>
What do I have to do in order for this to work without any trouble?<br>
<br>
<br>
2) Do you know where I can find some info regarding the way to make the / partition dynamic based on the flavor??<br>
I have built an instance on which the / partition is 20GB . Is there a way to make it change according to the flavor? Obviously this should apply to bigger / partitions. What I am trying to do is to have an image which I can boot with either 20GB or bigger / partition.<br>

Best,<br>

Thx for your suggestion!<br>
<br>
I am trying since yesterday to achieve this but unfortunately the installer<br>
always start in a text-based mode and cannot change the partition scheme<br>
from there :-(<br>

Hi Georgios,<br>
<br>
I don't know if this can be helpful for you or other people here, but<br>
I usually create my centos/ubuntu images with virt-inst from kickstart<br>
or preseed using a script.<br>
<br>
Script and related kickstart is available at<br>
<a href="https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/openstack-tools" target="_blank">https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/<u></u>openstack-tools</a><br>
they are mainly for internal use, so you may need to modify the<br>
kickstart (we always provides images with the 'gc3-user' user so we<br>
need to modify the configuration of cloud-init.<br>
<br>
We partition our disks with one single partition. The script doesn't<br>
yet take into account the extra swap partition though, we don't have<br>
swap in our flavors.<br>
<br>
