Yeah, that's an option too. It's sometimes very inconvenient, but that's what was intended. At any rate I don't think we want to automatically create multiple templates of different sizes after upload, I'd rather see the root resize. On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 7:08 PM, Chiradeep Vittal wrote: > Heh,

Don't you already have dropbox support? Just go into your drop box and fetch a public URL, add &qcow2 to fool the file type checker, and it should pull the thing down. On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 7:08 PM, Chiradeep Vittal wrote: > Heh, AWS seems to manage fine without it. But that is AWS. > Service o

Heh, AWS seems to manage fine without it. But that is AWS. Service offerings are only for compute, there is a separate disk offering for the data volumes. Presumably the data volumes can be used for persistent storage (e.g., db files). What is the difference between a 40G Drupal template and an 80G

You are right Chiradeep, When talking about real simple installations It would be nice, though. for a bit more you would not want this indeed. So it would be an extra for the administrator. I still like the idea. As for you wiki page, I presume you want to propose both implementations, Or are you

This isn't for the admin. The end user has no access to the MS file system or any direct access to the secondary storage NFS server. The only frontend available to the NFS secondary share is the SSVM. Re: dropbox: that is already available : enter a URL. On 2/20/14 11:05 AM, "Daan Hoogland" wrot

We definitely need to support more than http download. http upload sounds interesting, but I’d love to see something more resilient for large uploads. How ‘bout specifying a “drop folder” type location on the mgmt server that the server polls every 15 seconds for new files, then in the UI the us
