Re: [Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Directories in storage pools and Filesystem Passthrough

Hi team,
A colleague has noticed that directories (even the 'lost+found')
The reason
libvirt decide to display 'lost+found' as volume is they think
"on different platform (MacOS, Android) the name of trash can varies and
not always be 'lost+found',
So just to be safe, they remain this directory not be filtered."
directory are showing up as images in storage pools.
Here's an old mail thread discussing the addition of directories to
storage pools:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg01901.html, but
it was because they can be used for 'filesystem passthrough.' See
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsFilesystems
So my question is: How should kimchi treat directories?
My thoughts are, we can filter them out of storage pools, and then in
the future, add a feature for filesystem passthrough.
I agree with you. Filesystem
passthrough is a useful feature for
guest-host sharing, while I haven't figured out specific use case under
kimchi.
So I would like we filter all directories for now too.
FYI: virt-manager has this capability for reference.
