This seems odd to me. If I were the user getting charged by the amount of space I would not want it to grow without being told I was going to be charged more.

VM SMAPI provides functions to add minidisks to a guest, and the automation to access the disk, put it online and do the pvcreate, etc would be fairly straightforward once you have the ability to interact with the hypervisor management infrastructure. The filesystem monitor interface might be the only moderately complex part. Wrt to why, if you have a chargeback environment, preallocating space you're not using makes users whiny. Create on use makes that discussion less complex (they still whine, but it's clear what happened and why). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
