[vdsm] python vfs

2012-10-15 Thread Peter V. Saveliev

…

Some time ago I posted about a side-result of the work on the VM 
migration 3.1⇒3.0 issue. Here is several slides[1] about the pyvfs 
library[2]. It is not a ready-to-use VDSM application, but some research 
work. It is not designed specifically for VDSM and can be used in any 
Python script.


I hope, with the library we can create some features for VDSM, like 
file-based RPC or internal structures monitoring. Right now I use it to 
observe VM objects and monitor internal VM config representation.


I would be glad to discuss it and can prepare a short presentation using 
VDSM as a sample.

This would be a fantastic debug resource for anyone supporting VDSM (/me
waves) but I would be worried about having it mounted rw if at all.

Maybe we could only allow users to mount this via a specific verb or
separate log collection tool (sosreport etc). Thoughts?
