So if I use RBD as my storage backend for Cinder, what happens to the root disks of VMs that I terminate? Do they still exist as RBD volumes in Ceph or are they deleted/marked-as-free? If the answer is that they get deleted, or at the very least OpenStack no longer keeps track of them, then there isn't much difference between the root and ephemeral disks in the flavors I am using. other than their being distinct disk devices. Or so it seems to me. -- \*..+.- --Greg Chavez +//..;}; -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
