Public bug reported:
This is a feature freeze exception for Cloud-init for Saucy. The
SmartOS/Joyent datasource needs to format the ephemeral device. In order
to do this properly, cloud-init needs to be capable of partitioning and
formating the ephemeral device.
The required change will be to add to cloud-init's configuration modules
"cc_disk_format.py", which will handle basic disk partitioning and
formating. Additionally, new documentation will land. The decision over
whether or not to format will be controlled by user-data and/or a built-
in datasource.
The impact of not having support for disk formating is that on
SmartOS/Joyent hosts, the ephemeral device will not be prepared.
Benefits:
- SmartOS/Joyent ephemeral disks will be formated at provisioning time
- Users will be able to define the filesystesm of the ephemeral disks
