Some updates. * The latest builds [3] (20110829) have a .qcow2 file which is a compressed qcow disk image. * I posted an email to 2 ubuntu-cloud [1] and ec2ubuntu [2] asking if anyone is using the .vmdk files. I'm thinking of replacing them with compressed qcow images.
The compressed qcow images do work with: uec-publish-image amd64 oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.qcow2 $BUCKET -v --type image However, they're still less than ideal. It seems that nova is not resizing the disk image up as it does with a partition image (bug 836759). -- [1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cloud/2011-August/thread.html#655 [2] https://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/browse_frm/thread/69d7a94e32642b1b [3] https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/oneiric/current/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833265 Title: no ideal way to boot an ubuntu cloud-image on openstack To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/833265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
