Hi all,

I don't know if somebody already experienced it but we recently tried to 
setup an instance of toolkit on a virtual machine in OpenStack.
Unfortunately, by default, the configuration script was unable to find 
any local storage devices and therefore we were unable to configure 
local store. After investigation of our sys admins it turned out that 
for OpenStack the device name by default is always /dev/vda, etc and not 
/dev/hda or sda and the script is not able to locate/recognise it. After 
performing some tricks in the OpenStack and changing the name to sda it 
was ok.
So it may be a suggestion to reconsider the initial configuration script 
to recognize other device names in environments like this.

Regards,
