Building blocks first paragraph is either wrong or just poorly worded

[Robert Starmer]

The paragraph:
In OpenStack the base operating system is usually copied from an image stored in the OpenStack Image Service. This is the most common case and results in an ephemeral instance that starts from a known template state and loses all accumulated states on shutdown. It is also possible to put an operating system on a persistent volume in the Nova-Volume or Cinder volume system. This gives a more traditional persistent system that accumulates states, which are preserved across restarts.

Is wrong. Specifically " loses all accumulated states on shutdown" is not correct, it only " loses all accumulated states on" deletion of the associated VM.

Also, this requires changing "which are preserved across restarts" to "which are preserved even on deletion of the VM, allowing a new instance to be created with the persistent data stored in the Cinder volume"

This appears to be fixed in the latest version of the guide.
