Andy Kurth resolved VCL-910.
----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
The code now renames the directories before deleting them as a test for locked
files. I haven't encountered any problems with it since the changes.
> 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.
