I notice from your usage output it looks like the --block-device option
is not there. You may have an older version? Some older versions of the
client lacked some functionality. If you're able to use a newer version,
it might help. Note that generally you can use newer versions of the
client with older versions of openstack if needed.

What version of the client are you using? I used 6.4.0 and the command
line I showed earlier worked for me on a devstack:

$ openstack --version
openstack 6.4.0

$ openstack --os-cloud devstack volume create --size 1 --image
