[Users] Map disk UUID to guest or disk name?
On an Ovirt datastore the disk image names for the guests are named with an unfriendly UUID name. Is there any way to map that back to the human readable name given int the GUI? It would be nice if this name was dropped in as a field in the .meta file. I see there is a DESCRIPTION= field, but it’s blank. I tried updating the description in the GUI, but it’s still blank (bug, or do I have to update something? I tried deact/activate the disk and it still didn’t update…)

Hi The description field is intended just for that, so you can distinguish between disks by its description Seems as a bug, please open a BZ on that. Did you tried updating the description from API as well? in case that this is a UI bug you may succeed to do the same with the API unless it is a bug in the backend core. I tried deact/activate the disk and it still didn’t update…)

Disks main-tab contains an ID column for disks' GUIDs, try mapping the disk name using that.

I've tried updating disk's description with latest bits and it seems to work fine.. Can you please attach the relevant engine logs for further investigation.

Doh. How did I miss that? But I see in the disks maintab a disk I deleted several weeks ago. It's gone from the physical storage but still shows up here. Wonder why that is?

Did you check the .meta file on physical storage? It seems to be getting updated in the GUI, but not getting written out to the .meta file on physical storage. I just updated to 3.3.2 and still seeing the same issue when I update the Description field. What logs do you need?
