You have to be aware of the partitioning in your image currently.
Have a look at the libvirt_inject_partition config option in nova.conf
for example.  It doesn't look like libguestfs is available to you
(or at least you don't have python-libguestfs installed), so the
inspection option documented in the config file would then not
be available to you.  Perhaps specifying a different static partition
will suffice for you.  Note if you have a more complicated structure,
like LVM or something, then again libguestfs is required.
