Hi David, This looks like a good to have feature, this has come up once.
I think it can be easily implemented. One issue is that it will require addition of a column to the vm_instance table which means change of schema so this feature may only get into 4.5 (if it’s not too late) or master (for 4.6). > On 14-Nov-2014, at 12:02 am, Mike Tutkowski <mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com> > wrote: > > Looks good!
