Ok, I figured out my problem. My nova.conf BEFORE: virt_mkfs="default=mkfs.ext4 -L %(fs_label)s -F %(target)s" virt_mkfs="windows=mkfs.ntfs --force --fast --label %(fs_label)s %(target)s"
This is from the docs, but it's not right. Removing the citation marks made it work as expected: virt_mkfs=default=mkfs.ext4 -L %(fs_label)s -F %(target)s virt_mkfs=windows=mkfs.ntfs --force --fast --label %(fs_label)s %(target)s On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 8:41 AM, Erik Lindblad <[email protected]>wrote: > Not sure if it helps bumping my own email, but here's a launchpad question > as well.
