Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:21:45 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/baremetal-preserve-ephemeral.

Description:

Discussed in detail on the list (http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-October/017707.html) but:

 - make an API extension to request preservation of the ephemeral partition
 - implement that in baremetal initially

Comment 2 David Ripton 2014-02-26 21:14:49 UTC 
This is marked as done in tripleo and almost done in nova -- still waiting on docs.

7 merged changesets (5 by Robert Collins, 2 by Roman Podoliaka), 1 abandoned changeset (by Roman).

It's marked as icehouse-3, and if it's all done but the docs, should probably end up in final icehouse.
