Bug Description
I get a "Failure prepping block device" error whenever I create an instance with a volume or just a volume. It has been happening a few times after setup, then I was able to create an instance once, now it again occurs every time. I tried at least 10 times with various configurations (empty volume, from image), also tried rebooting in between.
I run RDO Juno, CentOS 7, XFS + MD-RAID1. It is a fresh installation, I didn't really change much other than adding a few images.
SSH access can be provided for debugging purposes.

I've tried another operating system (Fedora 21), another file system (ext4), and a completely different machine; still get this error. The only thing that these had in common are the hard disks, two WD Red. No (other) issues with the disks so far, but I need to make a few more tests to be sure.
