Docs: Requirements should include disk space and partitioning

[Henrik Kramshoej]

The page http://docs.openstack.org/developer/openstack-ansible/install-guide/overview-requirements.html
does list a few requirements.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)

But nothing about if it is tested with 14.04.3 or 14.04.4 - which is very new.

Also the default Ubuntu partitioning is retarded, having 100Gb disk will end up with root / having only 10G and most of the remaining space is in /home - 86G in our installation. We had to reduce /home and add more to /.

... and how much space is needed?

I would be grateful if the developers would enter something like:

Required items:
* Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) or compatible operating system that meets all other requirements.
We have tested 14.04.3

* Secure Shell (SSH) client supporting public key authentication.
* Synchronized network time (NTP) client.
* Python 2.7 or later.

Disk space requirements

* Depployment host at least 100Gb
* Infrastructure hosts at least 100Gb
* Logging host should have at least 500Gb
* Compute hosts must have at least 100Gb
* Block storage is recommended to have at least 2Tb

Note: these are just guesses
