Hi all,
Recently, I've tried to use HDD-style config-drive with Windows VM and
Cloudbase-init, but It didn't work.
I found 2 things below:
* HDD-style config-drive v2 of Nova uses a VFAT filesystem without
partition (whole disk).
* Windows Server 2012 doesn't recognize a filesystem without partition.
HDD-style config-drive is useful because cloud-init can delete all
data on it for security.
How can I resolve this problem? Does HDD-style config-drive need to
change its format?
Thank you,
Akira Yoshiyama
p.s. Cloudbase-init looks for an ISO image on HDD-style config-drive.
