Greetings from an ancient thread (but the most recent on to openstack-dev about localfs that I can find).

In 2014, which were heady times, we decided that we couldn't deprecate nova.virt.disk.vfs.localfs because we theorised that FreeBSD and containers would soon need it. Oh, and xenapi uses it a little too.

It is now three years later, and there has been some recent thought given to deprecating localfs again, which I bumped into when I chose this code as the first candidate for a prototype privsep user inside the nova codebase [1].

I think we therefore need to have this conversation again. Do we still have any clear use cases for localfs? Where does guestfs not run at the moment? Or did I waste my time privsep'ing localfs?

Thanks,
Michael

We agreed at the Pike PTG to drop the VFSLocalFS driver. See the recap notes from the PTG:

I think it's just a matter of cleaning this up:
