Yeap, I think we have an agreement on it.

On those UI mockups, Yu Xin proposed to display a new dialog only when 
user needs to change the storage pool to do the clone - for example when 
the target pool is full or if it is iSCSI or SCSI.

I've just re-read this mail thread and noticed we haven't decided how to 
proceed in those cases.

I agree with you, we should require as less as possible input from user.
IMO We could always fallback to the default pool in those cases and if 
the default pool is full we raise an error.
