The original idea was to scan the storage domains and compare the images lists to the database, thus getting a list of images no longer relevant and scrubbing the storage. This will actually be addressed properly in the future (Ayal can elaborate on that) but for now this is needed at least for that use case. As I understand, the conversation here is about trying to take an already populated SD (from another setup I suppose), scanning it and putting it into RHEV? > > > > > [1] or a subtab on the storage domain. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Engine-devel mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > > > -- Regards, Dan Yasny Red Hat Israel +972 9769 2280 _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
