Yeah, the storage UI is needlessly complex. I think one way to simplify it will be to enhance the 'New Volume' wizard to optionally take a full path to the desired image. If the parent directory isn't a storage pool, we just silently pool-ify it. This should make the storage management fairly invisible for people who don't have any real need to mess with the nitty gritty details. *** Bug 571854 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This work probably won't be backported to F12 (when it's even completed), so moving to F13. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Moving to rawhide *** Bug 478407 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 773570 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 746188 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 640825 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 582507 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 598175 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've changed this bug to track auto-poolifying storage in virt-manager: whenever the user passes in an arbitrary path, we will use libvirt's storage APIs to introspect data about the storage, such as format type, size, and permissions. *** Bug 801813 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1030599 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1062783 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Upstream now will auto-inspect a path with libvirt's storage APIs. So there's no need to go and create a manual pool or storage volume, just give virt-manager a path and a disk size and it will do the right thing. This might mean we should reorganize the UI a bit to make that more clear, but it needs some testing first to see what might need to be changed. Any additional work will be tracked in separate bugs. |
