[19:38] <     ckrough> | hrm. the new default only applies to new disk images, so people using existing linux images will not see a 
          change in default behavioir
[19:39] <     ckrough> | that makes me think this should *not* default to AUTO 
[19:39] <     ckrough> | the default should be whatever the image is defaulted to, but there needs to be a place to override that
[19:39] <       Kami_> | ckrough: lemme check the docs again
[19:41] <       Kami_> | On October 1st 2013, we will be adjusting the default Disk Partition option to Manual for our Linux base 
          images as part of our ongoing commitment to align with other OpenStack deployments and increase portability.
[19:41] <     ckrough> | I created a server with manual and it had this tidbit in 
          it:https://gist.github.com/ckrough/6b1f4de4901fc7965f6c#file-gistfile1-txt-L20-L21
[19:41] <       Kami_> | so it does sound like it will also apply to existing linux images
[19:42] <     ckrough> | I gather the opposite from that
[19:42] <       Kami_> | ah, i see, so they will probably add new images with a different id and partitiong set to manual
[19:42] <     ckrough> | "new Linux operating system images will be uploaded (with new Image IDs)"
[19:42] <     ckrough> | si
[19:42] <       Kami_> | yeah, the documentation you provided is more clear on that
[19:42] <     ckrough> | so expected behavior from libcloud should be to do whatever the image defaults to
[19:42] <       Kami_> | knowledge base article is not really clear and makes it sound like what i initially said
[19:42] <     ckrough> | agreed
[19:42] <       Kami_> | correct, but also allowing users to override it
[19:43] <     ckrough> | right, which from what I can see, is not an option at the moment, but I'm new to libcloud so maybe I missed it
[19:43] <       Kami_> | ckrough: correct, user can't specify this option at the momment
[19:43] <     ckrough> | kk, Ill do that code instead. thanks
[19:44] <       Kami_> | np and thanks
[19:52] <     ckrough> | Is there a Racker in here who can clarify it? http://goo.gl/KIg2dG
[19:53] <       Kami_> | ckrough: yeah, i'm also just adding comment to the announcement blog post
