For Ubuntu distros, the nova-volumes component will not properly work (regarding the part which deals with volumes deletion) without a small fix. In dorder to fix that, do the following :

sudo visudo

Then add an entry for the nova user (here is the default sudoers file with our added nova user) :

nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/dd

That will allow the nova user to run the "dd" command (which empties a volume before its deletion).
