Hi David,

It is for nova. 

Im not sure I understand. I want to be able to say to openstack; "openstack, please install this instance (A) on this mountpoint and please install this instance (B) on this other mountpoint." I am planning on having two NFS / Gluster based stores, a fast one and a slow one.

I probably will not want to say please every time :)

Thanks,

Andrew
