Hi Chris,

We have tried to reproduce it in two blades that have the same configs. 
They are all empty of instance from very beginning. What we see that the 
scenario happens in one blade, another works as expect. Of course we use 
qcow image.

If i use the below calculation, it can explain the scenario but why it 
does not happen in the another blade that has the same config? Does it 
relate to the worst case you mention? (Since there is no instance 
running before reproducing then i could not find out what worst case 
happening)

- Free_disk = Total(file_system) - Total(actual disk used by instances) 
- _base directory

- Overcommit = Total(virtual size of instances) - Total(actual disk used 
by instances)

- Avai_disk_least = Free_disk - Overcommit


Cheers,


Tuan
