ok - sounds basic enough of a change. I'd just note in the patch you
are re-using same REGEX used for the previous validation happening in
the backend (and actually try to re-use it, to not maintain a change
in too many places0
There is no validation in backend. I mean, the error
"Error while
executing action AddLocalStorageDomain: Remote path is illegal" is
coming from VDSM:
https://gist.github.com/2762656
And is not caused by regex. VDSM is just comparing path /test/ with
os.path.abspath(), /test:

Subject: [Engine-devel] LOCALFS path validation
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello,
<br>
<br>
I'm starting to know the engine code. I chose a little
unstandardized
<br>
behaviour to follow through the devel process. I have a
patch and
<br>
I'd like to know if you fell relevant to correct this
issue:
<br>
<br>
- Description: Adding a LOCAL storage [1], webadmin does
not validate
<br>
path against regex, sendind the invalid path (with final
slash) to
<br>
vdsm [2] [3]. But, adding a NFS storage, the path is
validated
<br>
before contacting vdsm [4] avoiding extra vdsm processing
and
<br>
quickly/clearly informing user about what's wrong.
<br>
<br>
- Expected result: Same behaviour to NFS and LOCALFS
storage path
<br>
validation. Validate LOCALFS path in webadmin before send
it to vdsm
<br>
[5].
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
you may and should send a patch :)
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<br>
- Newbie doubt: Wouldn't be better to validate the both
local and nfs
<br>
path on the backend, achieving all user interfaces/APIs?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Because we have a rich client app (gwt), we can perform the
<br>
validation also in the client side very easily,
<br>
we do that to avoid unnecessary calls to the backend side,
and to
<br>
have a better& responsive ui
<br>
(client side validation is performed instantly - without the
need to
<br>
wait).
<br>
<br>
Anyway, every validation performed in the client side needs
to be
<br>
performed also in backend side (for api, and other reasons
(security?)).
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
the client side can validate the format of the path, not if it
really
<br>
exists.
<br>
do you mean local storage via the wizard, or just adding
another
<br>
storage domain?
<br>
the 'configure local storage' wizard requires the host to be
in
<br>
maintenance, which may or may not be a problem to implement
this type
<br>
of validation.
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I mean just adding a LOCALFS storage domain with an invalid
path, like
<br>
this:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FWNiou2Y12GZO3AjfCH6K7QA...

<br>
Currently we have this:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Pof6Z8ohgQAkRTDpEJKG-LQA...
<br>
<br>
I sent a patch...
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://gerrit.ovirt.org/4857">http://gerrit.ovirt.org/...
<br>
... in order to do this:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PgzYrZHkkvm-WtFk_UFZLrQA...
<br>
<br>
Just like "New NFS Domain" currently does:
