I do not think it's "over complicated" in any technical sense - just one command line to copy/paste from somewhere. I'd say it's mainly that knowing that this is the solution to your exact problem is the hard thing. > > But thanks for the heads-up. > > Q: I'm willing to try and document all the steps I did, in my semi-success > attempt to save my cluster.

If as something like a blog post (on ovirt.org or your own blog or whatever), that's less "authoritative" and understandably more local/specific. If you consider integrating it into the official guides, that's more delicate. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/ZS3GZUZZDFUUX4RR3KQT4BO6TQOXHYF4/
