From 488306996c9b98d50d14520f1a666b577e9de56f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Philippe Evrard Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 13:25:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [Docs] Adapt the wording for disk requirements Disks requirements aren't clear, and people can think it's always required to have 1TB disk on cinder nodes. There is no hard requirement there, so we should remove this requirement, mark it as recommendation, and point its only for LVM backends.
