the current state seems to be basically equivalent to the following (which doesn't require a custom plugin ;)): - ensure moosefs gets mounted (.mount unit, fstab, ..) at boot - dir plugin entry with is_mountpoint set the first part is handled by activate_storage in your plugin, the second part makes the dir plugin only active (or activatable) if something is mounted at the configured path (otherwise, failure to mount the moosefs would lead to using the local empty mountpoint dir, which is of course not desired!) might be an avenue worth exploring if all the interaction between PVE and the storage besides the storage activation itself is via dir semantics/the dir plugin code ;) of course if there are more aspects that do require interacting with the moosefs server when doing certain storage operations, a custom plugin is the way to go (with all the caveats Thomas already mentioned). _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
