Re: [Engine-devel] SharedRawDisk feature detail

I started writing the changes in the email but got tired of it and just made a bunch of changes in the wiki (impossible to track in email, such things should be done using etherpad or something). A few questions though: plugged vs. enabled - I thought we converged on attached/detached and enabled/disabled and not plugged/unplugged? * Shared disks are attached with R/W permissions. - What about enabling R/O ? (esp. for stateless/pools) * Template disks should not be shared. - Why not? (read only) * When exporting a VM, only the disks which are not shared will be exported. - Why is the above not treated the same as a snapshot? the configuration will reference the shared disk as unplugged? (or will it and it's just not clear?) I didn't touch stateless/pools but should be fixed to reflect comments on this thread. Is Remove shared disk and Delete shared disk the same thing? if so, why the dual terminology? I don't quite follow the logic determining which section is under functionality and which under user experience. For example, why do you have a 'Delete shared disk' section in the Ux section but not a 'Move shared disk' section (there is no shared disk specific logic visible in the delete action UI). * Disk name should be generated automatically based on the vm name and disk number in the VM. Description will be empty. * New disk should enforce the user to enter a name for the disk. - Huh? the above 2 items seem like an oxymoron, but I may be missing something... * Attach/Detach of a shared disk can be performed only when the VM is in status 'down'. - Why? under the functionality section you clearly stated that attaching a disk will result in it being attached but disabled... ----- Original Message -----
