We can, and we should. My initial patch is just the bare minimum; I'd
like
Douglas to carry it on, and I am still waiting to meet his Engine
counterpart.
Currently, a LUN that was once used as a raw hard disk cannot be used
by RHEV;
that's sad.
How about this for API:
createVG(self, vgname, devlist, options={trashpart_devlist: []})
No, stop using options as a trash can.
If we're changing the API, it should already be just passing a LUNs dictionary to
createStorageDomain and start deprecating createVG
createVG would honor an optional list of devices (subset of devlist)
whose
partition tables should be trashed.
