Depending on the how the stars align with partition images
being written to a remote system, we *may* end up with
*either* a Partition UUID value, or a Partition's UUID value.
Which are distinctly different.
This is becasue the value, when collected as a result of writing
an image to disk *falls* back and passes the value to enable
partition discovery and matching.
Later on, when we realized we ought to create an fstab entry,
we blindly re-used the value thinking it was, indeed, always
a Partition's UUID and not the Partition UUID. Obviously,
the label type is quite explicit, either UUID or PARTUUID
respectively, when initial ramdisk utilities such as dracut
are searching and mounting filesystems.
Adds capability to identify the correct label to utilize
based upon the current state of the block devices on disk.
Granted, we are likely only exposed to this because of IO
race conditions under high concurrecy load operations.
Normally this would only be seen on test VMs, but
systems being backed by a Storage Area Network *can*
exibit the same IO race conditions as virtual machines.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
