Hi All,
Here is the update from storage refactor branch since last week:
1. clean/hook up snapshot into new storage framework, separate taking
snapshot and backup snapshot. Add a snapshotstrategy interface for people want
to change or replace how snapshot is processed in cloudstack. Current snapshot
code is little bit hacky, welcome to replace it for your need.
Since last week I created storage_refactor branch, seems no objection for
what I am doing, so I want to merge the branch into master, by end of this
week, due to the following reasons:
Maintain such big patch(more than 20K) outside of master, touch all
the storage code, is not an easy task.
After merge into master, other developers who developing storage
features can work on master directly, thus I don't need to rebase the branch
regularly.
About test, I only tested basic features, like, stop/start vm,
attach/detach volumes, take snapshots in devcloud. For sure, I'll break
something. The more test from other people, will help to me to stabilize the
code. About unit test, I have some unit test and integration test for devcloud,
but both of them needs database and devcloud environment, so they are disabled
by default and unit test themselves are broken also. I'll write more tests
during the stabilization.
