Re: [Libvir] Concepts in storage management

Hi Dan, FWIW, this looks pretty much spot on to me ... I'm not sure there's a lot to discuss :-) On Tue, 2007-10-16 at 16:19 +0100, Daniel P. Berrange wrote: Nice that you list these and concentrate on them. Hmm, I'd try and avoid the confusion associated with this nesting concept ... What kind of uses for it are you thinking? (e.g. something like allocate a big raw sparse volume, create a pool from it and and then allocate volumes from that pool?) Is it that you need to somehow represent the storage that a pool can allocate from and that that winds up being similar to how you represent storage that is assignable to a pool? If that's the case, maybe fold the concept of "what a pool allocates from" into the pool concept and make the volume concept just about "what are assignable to guests". Perhaps there should be a default pool for each host so that to list host volumes you just list the volumes from the default pool? Cheers, Mark.
