Description Yogev Rabl 2013-11-26 13:24:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
The implementation of the the RFE Bug 978519 is problematic: 

The list of the volumes attached is presented in the 'nova show' output as a list of dictionaries, like so: 

os-extended-volumes:volumes_attached | [{u'id': u'cfaba0b7-a578-48f3-8f2b-53b8c7f6447b'}| 

The "u'id" key is irrelevant to the administrator and it is unnecessary. 
When there are more than 2 volumes attached to the instance the display is unreadable: 

| os-extended-volumes:volumes_attached | [{u'id': u'cfaba0b7-a578-48f3-8f2b-53b8c7f6447b'}, {u'id': u'07fd2432-3ae8-402e-acfd-fb2146942f99'}, {u'id': u'37683c4d-0bbd-4eb7-900a-cb7596375221'}, {u'id': u'554c605a-7c9b-4192-af42-3be5daf3c203'}, {u'id': u'f01fa946-a6e5-4581-ac18-f482f454794e'}] |

Additional info:
Comment 1 Xavier Queralt 2013-11-26 13:45:42 UTC 
The dict containing the volume ID's should be parsed and presented properly by the nova client, not in nova.
Comment 2 Jakub Ruzicka 2013-11-26 13:54:10 UTC 
This is an upstream wishlisth bug. Please report upstream and link the External Tracker.

Comment 4 Jakub Ruzicka 2013-11-26 14:16:27 UTC 
Oops, I missed the upstream bug in URL. Added as External Tracker.

I think reporting upstream is sufficient in this case. The fix will be included in next client release once it's merged.

As a side note, please don't reference downstream bugs in upstream bug tracker.
Comment 5 Yogev Rabl 2013-11-27 10:37:38 UTC 
I've removed the needinfo
