Open Stack

hello fellow openstack users,

I just tried to create a snapshot of a virtual machine, which was larger 
than average. Bad news: The snapshot couldn't be saved, but what I see 
here is some kind of design problem:

2012-08-13 13:44:41 DEBUG nova.utils 
[req-a678e738-9c18-4ee6-8e2e-f1f176a4674b

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py:219

that's bad, I don't have so much disk space on /, but I have plenty in 
/var/lib/nova/instances.

df -h | grep nova
/dev/dm-8   1.4T  150G  1.3T  11% /var/lib/nova/instances

is there a generic way to change this path?

Wolfgang
