Current documentation states that:
http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html#version-2
... a config drive: ...Must be a un-partitioned block device (/dev/vdb,
not /dev/vdb1)...
This is not correct.
1. Cloud-init actually, works with ConfigDrive as partition (e.g. /dev/sda1)
2. Ironic uses partition at the end of disk to write metadata, and it's
absurd for baremetal provisioning to dedicate whole disk (actual SATA, SSD,
SAS/FC drive) just to tiny metada.
3. According to @smoser at #cloud-init IRC, " i'm pretty sure the doc is just
wrong, ... i'm pretty sure reading current code that if the filesystem has a
label of 'config-2', then it will work".
I think this part of documentation should be rewritten to avoid
confusion with Ironic workflow for ConfigDrive.
