Thx for your suggestion!

I am trying since yesterday to achieve this but unfortunately the installer always start in a text-based mode and cannot change the partition scheme from there :-(

If I do it manually do you think that it will work?

Best,

G.

Hi!

I 've created a CentOS image using the guide here:
http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/centos-image.html

I have succesfully booted the image in OpenStack and created a new VM.

My problem is that the swap indicated in horizon at the flavor that I am
using for the VM is not corresponds in the swap at the VM. No matter
whatever I put it always has 2GB.

Any ideas?

Several, but in a nutshell this part of the guide: "we recommend you use
the installer's default partition scheme, since there is no clear
advantage to one scheme or another" is wrong.

Don't let the installer partition the disk for you, make one /
partition, no swap. After the install add to the end of
/etc/rc.d/rc.local (watch out for wordwrap):

blkid | grep 'TYPE="swap"'
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
dev=`blkid | grep 'TYPE="swap"' | awk '{print $1;}' | sed -r 's/:$//'`
    if [ -n "$dev" ] ; then
        mkswap $dev
        swapon $dev
    fi
fi
