Neat, I see the maps project has a 10GB quota on volumes. The tiles for the WikiMiniAtlas take up considerably more space and are currently held on /data/project. The appeal of /data/project is that it is a "infinite" pit to store data in, whereas it seems that with Cinder volumes I'd have to commit to a certain size a priori. Is resizing straightforward? Will upfront allocation tie up resources? Is the performance of Cinder substantially better than the /data/projects NFS? Cheers, Daniel
