Timeout while `waiting for image creation`

[Nightreaver]

Hello,

I'm currently running packer to generate image inside openshift. Overall it works very well, but it seems the infrastructure is too slow for the defined timeout. Is there a way to increate the retry/waiting time on the "waiting for image creation" step ? I have check the packer manual of course, but havent found anything related to it.

I have no rush so I can just wait for the conversion for an hour... but only 5 minutes seems to be way to short for 150gb image :(

Yep, I experience the same behavior

From IT I was told, its an issue with the "image provider" of openstack. ie, image size is bigger than the configured limit in openstack
