Hello All,

I am facing an issue with nova metadata or probably something is missed by design.

If I create an instance from an image with os_require_quiesce='yes' and  hw_qemu_guest_agent='yes' and the image contain the package quemu-guest-agent, when the instance boots the service quemu.gust-agent starts fine because all needed device are created in kvm for the instance.

If I destory the instance and boot another instance from the volume used by the previous instance, metadata are missed and qemu-guest agent  does not start,

I think this is a problem from backupping and restoring instances.

Regards

Ignazio
