Thanks, Greg. I believe it should be the latter (but the storage guys may know better). So the meaning is: for "Saving memory may cause data loss when excluding disks!": Creating a snapshot and saving the memory (i.e. the RAM of the VM, AFAIK) as part of the snapshot data may cause data loss in case the created snapshot is a "partial-disks" snapshot (i.e. a snapshot that doesn't include all of the VM's disks). for "Previewing memory may cause data loss when excluding disks!": Performing a snapshot-Preview action that includes previewing the memory that has been saved during that snapshot creation can cause data loss in case the previewed snapshot is a "partial-disks" snapshot. > > > > > > From: "Yuko Katabami" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 8:44:11 PM > Subject: [Engine-devel] [oVirt 3.4 Localization Question #6] "snapshot > Creation/Preview With Memory" > > Hello all, > > I am a little confused with those two strings and hoping anyone here can help > me understand them correctly. > > File: CommonApplicationConstants > Resource IDs: > snapshotCreationWithMemoryAndPartialDisksWarning > snapshotPreviewWithMemoryAndPartialDisksWarning > Strings: > Saving memory may cause data loss when excluding disks! > Previewing memory may cause data loss when excluding disks! > Question: > These two strings can be interpreted in a few different ways and I would like > have clarification on what they are meant to say. > Is "excluding disks" referring to "not including disks to snapshot when > creating it?" > (Or is it about removing disks?) > If you do not include any disks when you create a snapshot, saving in the > memory or previewing from the memory may cause data loss? > And is "saving" referring to "not using too much" or is it about writing in > the memory? > > Thanks, > > Yuko > > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > > > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
