Hi,

While investigating a bug, I wondered about the differences between the
"Delete" and "Reset" (which also seems to be called "Deallocate")
actions in Crowbar.

The only doc I could really find is at
https://github.com/crowbar/travis-ci-crowbar/blob/master/barclamps/crowbar/doc/userguide/using-crowbar.md
and it says:

Delete: Completely removes all records of the node from the Crowbar/Chef
database. If a node is deleted, it is rediscovered when it reboots.

Reset: Removes all the roles assigned to the node and re-image it back
to an unallocated node.

Do I understand it right that Reset is more or less like Delete, except
that it re-allocates the node on next discovery? If that's correct, the
Deallocate name is, hrm, kind of weird because it's re-allocated. If
that's not correct, then what's the difference?

Thanks,

Vincent
