Public bug reported:
AWS is able to create and attach a new empty volume while launching an
instance. See
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/CommandLineReference/ApiReference-cmd-RunInstances.html:
---
To create an empty Amazon EBS volume, omit the snapshot ID and specify a volume
size instead. For example: "/dev/sdh=:20".
---
This can be set by run_instances parameters, and by image block device mapping
structure.
But Nova EC2 isn't able to do this:
$ euca-run-instances --instance-type m1.nano ami-00000001
--block-device-mapping /dev/vdd=:1
euca-run-instances: error (InvalidBDMFormat): Block Device Mapping is Invalid:
Unrecognized legacy format.
