Comment 18 for bug 1202965

I think this should be considered a flaw in Nova, this is similar to the issue where the resource_tracker in Nova counts Cinder volumes as local hypervisor storage as I have tried addressing however doesn't seem like nobody wants to take a strong grip on these issues.

It might not be a functional flaw but it's very misleading and providing the wrong statistics is just annoying.

Both these issues should be brought up properly in meetings and be addressed, I have heard this was gonna be fixed when the resource-objects BP lands in Nova[1] however I've worked for fixes on this for liberty but it did not make it into master nor liberty. So fixing this in master and back porting to Liberty and now Mitaka should be prioritized.
