Currently we filter out local devices in getDeviceList() I'd assume you'd want that to stop. This means having the engine filter them out according to the flow. This has backward compatibility implications. It can easily be solved with making the current behaviour the default and adding an "includeLocal" flag. Still, needs to be coordinated. I also see no attention given in the UI for volume management (LVM). Storage management is something I know the anaconda team have struggled to try and get the UX. I suggest looking at their design docs [1]. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/AnacondaStorageUI ----- Original Message -----

GlusterHostDiskManagement feature does not use/consume existing verb (I assume getDeviceList() a verb). The feature adds new verbs wrt to gluster brick management which involves create/expand bricks and helper verb glusterStorageDevicesList. The scope of this feature is not LVM management. Am I missing something here? Regards, Bala
