[Users] Uploaded ISO file doesn't show up in admin portal

[Terry Phelps]

It looks like you were doing this as root, so I did, too. In any case,
the result looks good to me:

# mount | grep iso

oravm3.acbl.net:/isodomain/ on
/rhev/data-center/mnt/oravm3.acbl.net:_isodomain type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,clientaddr=172.16.2.52,minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.118.10)

]# ls /rhev/data-center/mnt/oravm3.acbl.net:_isodomain

48a5390f-2f86-485c-8537-b6bc9dd71796  vdsmTest

[root at oravm2 ~]# vdsClient -s 0 getFileList 48a5390f-2f86-485c-8537-b6bc9dd71796

file:  OracleLinux-R6-U2-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso status:  {'status':
469, 'ctime': '1330092866.03', 'size': '3591360512'}


NOTE: That "vdsmTest" file you see has appeared there since yesterday,
I think. I didn't put it there.
