commit 16027094ebabc5cd9f2e766431f18aadeff54a40 Author: Matt Riedemann <[email protected]> Date: Wed Oct 3 10:27:22 2018 -0400 doc: fix and clarify --block-device usage in user docs The docs on create a volume-backed server from the command line were wrong in a few ways: * The openstack server create command does not currently allow booting from a volume where a source image is provided and nova creates the volume from the image and uses that volume as the root disk. The nova boot command supports that, so the docs are updated to call out the nova boot command since that is the appropriate command in this case (even the syntax with the openstack server create --block-device was wrong). * When creating a server from a bootable volume with the OSC CLI, either the --volume or --block-device options should be used for a single volume, but not both. The docs were using both, so the latter is dropped and a note is added which links to the CLI documentation for more details on --block-device option usage.

Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes: - [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way: Anchor #create-volume-from-image-and-boot-instance describes the usage of option --block-device to generate a volume from an image and boot from there. That option is not implemented in the Queens openstack client, although it does exist in the nova client. I suggest substituting the openstack client syntax with the equivalent nova syntax.
