Description jniederm 2015-09-02 10:52:53 UTC

Description of problem:
Storage domains (especially the ISO one) may contain various auxiliary hidden files (like '.keep') that are not important from the engine point of view and make it difficult for users for find relevant files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0 master, commit c51fc13

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an ISO domain and attach it to DC
2. Create '.keep' file in the iso comain
In WebAdmin:
4. Open Storage main tab
5. Select the ISO domain
6. Select the Images subtab
7. Click refresh button

Actual results:
The list contains '.keep' file

Expected results:
The list doesn't contain any hidden files

Comment 1 Nir Soffer 2015-09-02 15:19:40 UTC

Vdsm is not the right place to filter the dot files. Vdsm is not a user level tool but a helper for engine, and it should not implement such policy. The right place to filter these files is in the engine.

Moving this bug to engine for consideration.

Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2015-09-21 11:59:28 UTC

not urgent, postponing

best would be to have a VdcOption with a mask, something like "*initrd*,vmlinu*,*mage"

Comment 3 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-10-19 10:49:57 UTC

Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 4 Martin Tessun 2018-07-06 15:13:36 UTC

As we are getting rid of the ISO domains, and other storage domains should not really have this issue, closing this one.
