[pve-devel] Storage plugins : is "properties" unique ?

[Florent Bautista]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a storage plugin for Proxmox, and I have a little
problem.

Are "properties" values of a plugin needs to be unique for all the
system ? And why ?

Example : when I set a property called "path" in my plugin, pveproxy
failed to start with those errors :

Restarting PVE API Proxy Server: pveproxyduplicate property at

 (warning).


I looked line 123 of SectionConfig.pm and it seems that properties are
not PER plugin but over all the system.
And "path" property is already used by DirPlugin.

Is it normal ? What represents "properties" exactly ?

Thank you for you help :)
