Thx Konstantin for sharing, yes, I haven't tried to set the flavor
root-disk-space to 0. I'm not sure what would happen, but it is
probably worth trying. Is this because if you provision just an image,
and the flavor say root_disk_space = 20G, then the image will have 20G
ephemeral space in / on the compute node?

I will try the live-migration with -DiskFilter and see how that goes. thx! will
