Comment 4 for bug 1083540

Josh, regarding (1) how would Cinder not have to worry about it all, specifically in conjunction with image creation? I think it would be perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to set a pool name and client id, just as in glance's RBD store.

Regarding (2), why? If that is the case you'd also have to be able to specify keyring locations, log locations etc. from nova. Why not simply rely on ceph.conf, and if anything, make the client id, the pool name, and ceph.conf's path nova config options?
