Sean, come talk to me at summit. We'll get along just fine :)

Seriously, I had a patch for doing this the other day, but had to back away from it for performance reasons. I want to get back there, though, but we need to give operators a heads up first that they don't want to be using ext3 any more for ephemeral disks. It's problematic for more reasons than just security: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1547582 .

My libvirt storage pools series is a huge cleanup in this area, and I'm not done yet. It's how I discovered both this CVE and the one from last month.
