I think it would make sense to have an entry in the nova.conf file on a compute node to indicate that the instances are mounted on shared storage.

This could be fed back into the database, used in resource reporting (like in this case where it affects the "real" amount of storage available), and could also be added to the instance itself so that the evacuate/migrate commands could programmatically determine whether the instance is on shared storage or not instead of requiring the user to specify it.

Hi All,

We have a couple of compute nodes each having its
/var/lib/nova/instances directory mounted via NFS from shared storage
server.
Nova gathers free space statistics from each compute node and adds
them, making the theoretical total disk space equal N times the real
one (N is the number of nodes we have).
Is there a way to tell it not to count this space again on some nodes?

Regards,
Daniel Speichert
