Is there a way to set NFS as the default storage for openstack so that I don't run out of space? By default it seems to be storing data in /var/lib directory. With the method you have shown here, I can move the existing VMs to the volume but not create them directly on the nfs volumes. Any suggestions?
Attaching should not have any effect. But before detaching any volume you should be careful. Else if you detach any used volume, chances are you instance will crash or experience IO errors. So it is better to cleanup the disk from OS side, remove any VG, LV, PV on the disk, delete it from OS and then detach it from Openstack console.

If you add NFS as the backend storage for Cinder then you can create VM directly on that.
what is the effect of attaching/detaching volume on running instance?

I am missing cinder-volume, I only have cinder scheduler
Did you select the cinder option during the installation?
