I have an OpenStack installation with one compute and one controller
node.
The location of the instances is at:
/var/lib/nova/instances at the compute node
I would like to know the following:
1) If there is a way to move it to /home or any other partition without
breaking OpenStack. I don't mind to shutdown all instances. But I want
after moving it to be able to power them on.
Would it be safer if I just moved the entire "nova" dir or just the
"instances" dir?
Where do I configure the path in OpenStack?
Besides "nova*" are there any other services that have to be restarted
in order for the new settings to apply?
2) Inside /var/lib/nova/instances there is another directory called:
"_base"
which appears to have a lot of data like ephemeral, swap and files with
name like this:
"11dad6463b5e8b75d3e6bce75711cc889433b9a0"
Is it OK if I completely remove this dir??
I can keep the ephemeral* and swap* files but the rest are taking a lot
of space, so I 'd like to delete them.
Best,
G.
