In theory for a PosixFS file system a user could create multiple
storage domains of different PosixFS types. Perhaps that's not a
problem, but worth noting.
Is "Path" the correct term to use for the remote mount? I can imagine
customers thinking that is local and messing with fstab.
Not sure if there's a better term - filesystem URI ?
- In the initial mock-up, it was called "Mount Spec". Is it better?
- Note that the current PosixFS implementation in the rest-api utilizes the
already-existing "<path>" property within the "<storage>"
tag within the "<storage_domain>" rest-api business entity, therefore I
put in the mockup the same term.
Do you think that the rest-api should have a different term as well?
I presume we are doing just not-null validation for path.
Obviously we can't validate the mount options but how good is the
error reporting back going to be - if the mount options are wrong,
or if something fails with the mount will we see "error 12345" in
the UI and require the user to go digging in vdsm logs or are we
going to pull back and display toe complete message.
Depends on backend/vdsm; Yair/Ayal?
