Hi,

If I get it correctly, the folder /var/lib/glance/images has only the UUID inside it. Where will I able to see the complete image (.img or .tar.gz)?

Thanks
Krishnaprasad

Hi,

While I was working on Essex, I was simply looking at the image UUID and copying it from /var/lib/glance/images, that's it.

I was not aware of glance image-download, which is great (same command for all Glance backends).
