Public bug reported: I booted up an instance as follows in my stable/mitaka devstack environment:
$ echo "this is a test" > /tmp/my_user_data.txt $ echo "blah1" > /tmp/file1 $ echo "blah2" > /tmp/file2 $ nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --config-drive true --user-data /tmp/my_user_data.txt --file /root/file1=/tmp/file1 --file /tmp/file2=/tmp/file2 testing This booted up an instance, and within the guest I ran the following: $ mkdir mnt $ mount /dev/sr0 mnt $ cat mnt/openstack/latest/user_data this is a test $ umount mnt $ cat /root/file1 blah1 $ cat /tmp/file2 blah2 Then I killed the compute node and ran "nova evacuate testing". The evacuated instance had a config drive at /dev/sr0, but it did not have the /root/file1 or /tmp/file2 files. This is arguably incorrect. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: compute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
