No, the default is nbd based injection, which is terrible on two counts: - its got horrible security ramifications - its a horrible thing to be doing libguestfs based injection is only terrible on one count: - its a horrible thing to be doing > That said, I'm trying to understand the rationale of your proposal in > this case.

There's nothing wrong with libguestfs, this is about the feature which has been discussed, here, a lot :) - for delivering metadata to images, config-drive || metadata service are much better. Hypervisors shouldn't be in the business of tinkering inside VM file systems at all. -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
