Fixed In Version: openstack-nova-2014.1.3-15
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The ephemeral disk format (for example, 'ext4' or 'xfs') was previously not taken into account if using the nova boot command ([--ephemeral size=<size>[,format=<format>]]). Instead, the default format was used. With this update, Compute's libvirt driver now uses the specified format.

Description Marko Myllynen 2014-10-09 15:31:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
When requesting an ephemeral disk with ...format=ext4... or ...format=xfs... the parameter is ignored, blkid / dumpe2fs both confirm that the provided disk is actually ext3.

Comment 4 Sahid Ferdjaoui 2014-10-29 15:03:23 UTC 
I'm going to backport the fix proposed upstream.
Comment 8 nlevinki 2015-04-13 07:02:43 UTC 
This ticket was verified, you need to change the configuration before writing which format you want the disk to be.
The default is ext3 and if you don't change the configuration it will create an ext3 disk regardless of what you want.
