Thank you for doing it, now root partition usage has been reduced(almost 80% -> 10%):
ex) http://logs.openstack.org/42/64442/5/check/check-tempest-dsvm-full/1bf4b4b/logs/df.txt.gz
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 40G 4.3G 34G 12% /
udev 3.9G 12K 3.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.6G 312K 1.6G 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 3.9G 4.0K 3.9G 1% /run/shm
/dev/xvde2 72G 9.8G 58G 15% /opt
cgroup 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0 6.0G 68M 6.0G 2% /opt/stack/data/swift/drives/sdb1
Great!

I got it, thanks for the explanation also.
Thanks
