Tamas Monos commented on CLOUDSTACK-670:
----------------------------------------
I still do not understand this configurable way as it is not described which
will be the default behaviour if the configuration option not set and seems to
be a half solution.
As an admin I want to be able to prevent the user to choose linked-in clones
and force them to use full-clones.
If the system default will always be linked-in clones and I configure the
option in the service-offering, CS will let the user choose but the admin is
limited to linked-in clones only and users choice.
However if the default behaviour could be changed whichever the admin wants
(full or linked) and then enable the option for the users this would allow the
admin to either force full or linked and also allowing the client to choose if
the admin decides to.
Personally I feel this would be more flexible and usable and not necessarily
result more work to code.
Please consider.
