Hi @lmq1999 and thanks for opening this issue - I'm curious: why do you need to run flatcar-install to install OpenStack images? Usually OpenStack users upload the image on Glance via CLI, Terraform or Horizon portal with qcow2 disk format: https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/installing/cloud/openstack/#choosing-a-channel
