[pve-devel] template considerations

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>You think such system is confusing to the user? 
It's already confusing for me... 

(Maybe convert only a disk to a base image, should remove the disk from the vm ? 
Or maybe convert only a disk should copy the disk to a new baseimage,and keep the original disk.
Both avoid to mix base && non base image in same vmconfig)
)

It could great to have some beta testers to have opinions :)

I'll begin work today

You think such system is confusing to the user?

Maybe. This is just an additional restriction. We can start implementing 
this, and see later if it makes sense to convert single disks.
