Michael I reworded the release note as follows: Grizzly should now be able to detect when a shared filesystem is being used for instances path, eliminating a bug in previous versions where the image cache manager erroneously deleted images that were in use on shared filesystems. However, this bugfix has not been extensively tested in production environments. If you wish to be conservative, you may set image_cache_manager_interval=0 in your nova.conf file on your compute nodes to prevent the image cache manager from deleting any images.
