Are you talking about booting from a volume that was created from an image (bootable volume)? Depending on cloud-init's configuration, it might be configured to only run on first boot. If that volume had previously been used to boot an instance, cloud-init will not run on subsequent boots from the volume.

I can mount /dev/vdb manually and see the metadata file in the instance. When I boot that same glance image w/o Cinder, it works fine. Does anyone have guidance on what the problem is or where to look for clues? The cloud-init log file is not too terribly helpful. Thanks, Steven. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack at lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack at lists.openstack.org> Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
