Yes, that's a good answer to the question afterwards :) But what do you think about the general idea of using an explanation caption below the "Path" text-box (instead of a tool-tip that was suggested here earlier)? Also, do you think that the above should be the exact phrasing? The NFS one is: "Please use 'FQDN:/path' or 'IP:/path' Example 'server.example.com:/export/VMs'" so maybe a "Please use" should be incorporated in this case as well, maybe also an example, etc. What do you think? > > > > - What should be the exact phrasing of the explanation text? > > > > > "mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir" > > > > > > device is what is being mounted and in the case of NFS is > > > server:path > > > > > > There is a reason why we termed it PosixFS and not SharedFS and > > > that > > > users can specify local devices/FS's (and there is no reason to > > > limit it). > > > > > > Note that if user defines a local FS and adds 2 hosts to the > > > Posix > > > FS > > > DC then 1 host will be non-op > > > > > > Miki - this is not cluster level seeing as PosixFS is a DC type > > > (afaik) so no need for tooltips about that. > > > > > > In the future when we get rid of the single storage type in DC > > > limitation then we'll be able to define a local posixFS domain > > > and > > > a > > > shared one. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Andrew/Geert/Simon/Ayal/Miki/Saggi/others: Please feel > > > > > > > free > > > > > > > to > > > > > > > suggest a new term, or vote for one of the > > > > > > > previously-discussed > > > > > > > terms ("Remote Path" / "Path" / "Mount Spec" / "File > > > > > > > System > > > > > > > URI"). > > > > > > > If no decision will be made here, the term will remain > > > > > > > as-is, > > > > > > > i.e. > > > > > > > "Path". > > > > > > > > > > > > > ... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
