------------------------------
Summary: Improvements to vcld -setup's VMware datastore cleanup
functions
Key: VCL-910
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-910
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend)
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Fix For: 2.5
Some improvements could be made to the VMware datastore cleanup options
available in _vcld --setup_:
* Purge deleted and unused images from repository datastore
* Purge deleted and unused images from virtual disk datastore
Occasionally, these functions may fail to delete a directory from a datastore
-- most likely because some files in the directory are locked by another host
which has the same datastore mounted. Only 1 attempt is made to delete each
directory. If a deletion fails due to a locked file, the directory may be
partially deleted. This may prevent subsequent attempts to ignore the
directory so it must be manually deleted.
I have seen cases where I can manually delete a directory immediately after the
_vcld --setup_ attempt fails. I'm not sure the reason for the failure, but
multiple attempts may improve things.
The menus could also be improved. Currently, the code assembles a list of
purgeable images and only allows you to select the number to delete. It would
be better to be able to select the exact image revisions you want to delete.
