Glance Metadefs Pod Fails to Initialize

[vish6760]

Describe the bug
The glance-metadefs-load pod completes successfully, but the Glance metadefs are not initialized due to missing directory/files. This prevents Glance from loading metadata definitions as expected.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Updated the required override config for glance and ceph in /etc/genestack/helm-configs/glance/glance-helm-overrides.yaml
2. Run the Glance deployment Script /opt/genestack/bin/install-glance.sh
3. Review the glance-metadefs-load pod logs and logs indicate a missing directory /var/lib/openstack/etc/glance/metadefs.

Expected behavior
The glance-metadefs-load pod should successfully initialize metadefs and populate /var/lib/openstack/etc/glance/metadefs.

Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04

Additional context
Observed Behavior:

1. Pod status shows Completed, but initialization fails.
2. Logs indicate missing directory:
