Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:52:56 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/exclude-cbs-in-snapshot.

Description:

Creating an image of a server to which a CBS volume is attached will include the CBS volume in the image creation process.

The volumes can't be removed from snapshots in the general case, but we need a flag for the snapshot command. 
Some users want to snapshot their image and get something they can rebuild their instance from, which would include the volume. Some users want to create a base image to stamp out other servers with which shouldn't include the volume. 

Both need to be supported.
