This has been the behaviour for a while now. I think it needs to be considered a feature rather than a bug (users may rely on it).
The openstack client (python-openstackclient) is starting to become the standard CLI for interacting with the image service. I believe it behaves differently here, so using it may be an option. ** Changed in: glance Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
