[Ovirt-devel] RFC: Advanced Storage Configuration
Hello, I'd like to put forward the following proposal for your appreciation, in order to add flexibility to the node configuration, so one can choose to store guest's images in a different device than the core OS/config/log/data today. In essence, proposal involves the following: - Addition of a new top level install menu called "Advanced Storage Configuration" where one can select a storage device to which should the guest's images be stored. - Next to the device selection, creates a new volume group - HostVG-Images - to be mounted at /images - Perform adjustments do /var/lib/libvirt/images "mount binds" against /images Comments ?

It also makes sense to organize all of these option as a sub-menu under storage configuration. One more aspect is to extend the syntax of "storage_vol" boot parameter to support autoinstalls with advanced storage configurations: storage_vol=<DISK>,<VG>,<LV>,<SIZE_MB>:... instead of current format: storage_vol=BOOT_MB:SWAP_MB:ROOT_MB:CONFIG_MB:LOGGING_MB:DATA_MB Any other ideas what else should we have in the storage configuration sub-menu?
