The ``default_volume_type`` configuration option is now required
to have a value. The default value is ``__DEFAULT__``, so you
should see no change in behavior whether or not you have set a
value for ``default_volume_type``. See
`Bug #1886632 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1886632>`_
for more information about this change.

`Bug #1886632 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1886632>`_:
The system defined ``__DEFAULT__`` volume type is now treated as
a regular volume-type and may be updated or deleted. Since the
configured ``default_volume_type`` cannot be deleted, however,
the ``__DEFAULT__`` volume type may not be deleted if it is the
value of that configuration option.

Beginning with the Train release, untyped volumes (that is, volumes with
no volume-type) have been disallowed. To facilitate this, a
``__DEFAULT__`` volume-type was included as part of the Train database
migration. In this release, handling of the default volume-type has been
improved:
* The ``default_volume_type`` configuration option is required to have a
value. The default value is ``__DEFAULT__``.
* A request to delete the currently configured ``default_volume_type``
will fail. (You can delete that volume-type, but you cannot do it
while it is the value of the configuration option.)
* There must always be at least one volume-type defined in a Cinder
installation. This is enforced by the type-delete call.
* If the ``default_volume_type`` is misconfigured (that is, if the value
refers to a non-existent volume-type), requests that rely on the
default volume-type (for example, a volume-create request that does
not specify a volume-type) will result in a HTTP 500 response.
