we would rather consider eliminating the extra config volume/disk. It should be doable (maybe add per-snapshot information to ovf store or just somehow merge the disk content with the RAM disk)

Comment 8 Michal Skrivanek 2015-03-10 09:34:38 UTC

then I'd close it as a dupe of 1164852 to address the additional volume problem
