When createing a volume from an image - nova leaves the volume name empty

[Nikola Đipanov]

When a block device with source=image, dest=volume to nova instance boot, nova will instruct Cinder to create the volume, however it will not set any name. It would be helpful to set a descriptive name so that the user knows where the volume came from.

Hello,

Would the fix for this bug be better handled if it is done at the cinder level? If the request to create a volume comes without a name, a default (image or vol name from which it is created - this is how horizon behaves) name can be given and volume creation can be done.

Thanks.

Looks like the change needs to be done in cinder. marking as invalid in Nova

[Duncan Thomas (duncan-thomas)]

Far from convinced cinder should make any assumptions about volume names - it's a free text string, and an empty name is entirely valid.
