[dev] [jira] [Created] (LIBCLOUD-365) EC2 node driver only allows subset of BlockDeviceMapping parameters to be passed in

-----------------------------------

             Summary: EC2 node driver only allows subset of BlockDeviceMapping parameters to be passed in
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-365
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Compute
            Reporter: joe miller
            Priority: Minor


My previous patch that added support for passing 'ex_blockdevicemappings' to the EC2 create_node() method only supported parameters 'DeviceName' and 'VirtualName'. This is sufficient for mapping ephemerals into the instance but it prevents other options such as specifying a root EBS volume with larger sizes, mapping other EBS, or creating EBS from snapshots.

I have a patch forthcoming that will allow any possible Block Device Mapping argument to be submitted so that all current and future settings should Just Work.
