Re: [ovirt-devel] [ovirt-users] [Feature review] Select network to be used for glusterfs
2. "Storage Network": if you intend to keep this role in
the feature (I
don't think it adds a lot of functionality, see article 1b), it might be
better to call it "Gluster Network" - otherwise people using virt mode
might think this network is gonna be used to communicate with other
types of storage domains.
+1 on "Storage Network" -> "Gluster Network" (assuming this role is
kept,
as Lior mentioned).
