OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)

Should default volume attach device to 'auto'

Registered by Jacob Godin

Because OSes typically just allocate attached volumes to the next available device, Horizon should default to 'auto' and make the device selection optional. This will make it more end-user friendly, especially for public / shared deployments.

Whiteboard

It's allready in. Edit local_settings.py with:
OPENSTACK_HYPERVISOR_FEATURES = {
    'can_set_mount_point': False,
}

^ That will completely disable input won't it?

The feature (as implemented) only allows for disabling it entirely. Now that we're farther down the road and don't ahve the same backwards-compat targets we may want to revisit whether allowing a blank value makes sense.

[Zhenguo Niu] in fact, we have already implemented this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1255136
