[openstack-dev] Large Ephemeral Disk Restrictions

Hi,

Currently in openstack, the ephemeral disk is not migrated on resize. This
has the potential for data loss.
We can change the migrations to include the ephemeral disks by default.
We can have a restriction on migrating large instances by the total disk
size (root+ephemeral).
We can also provide an option to exclude ephemeral disks during migrations
if the user only cares about the root disk.
Blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ephemeral-disk-restrictions

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,
Aditi
