[pve-devel] [PATCH WIP storage 0/2] add disk management

[Dominik Csapak]

this is a first version of basic disk management
functionality, please provide feedback

the plan would be to move the ceph specific code from
pve-manager to pve-storage (incl pveceph) and make
many function generic (such as list disk) for it to be used
more than once

my proposed structure would be:

pve-storage/PVE/Diskmanage.pm <- for generic utilities such as list disk
pve-storage/PVE/Ceph/* <- for Ceph specific code
pve-storage/PVE/ZFS/* <- for ZFS specific code
etc.

the api for ceph should not change
and the disk management should be under

/nodes/NODENAME/disks
/nodes/NODENAME/zfs
et.

to be consistent with

/nodes/NODENAME/ceph

for the gui, we have a very clear picture how the interface should look
(mostly oriented after the ceph gui), but no idea where to put it

ideas brought up:
 * as tabs at the nodes (like ceph)
     not really good, we already have way too many tabs there
 * all storage related things under one tab
     we need an additional layer of organizing (disks->zfs/lvm/ceph->subpoints)
     so also not very good
 * a seperate entry in the tree for storage
     breaks convention of an item under a node is an object

if someone has an idea, please provide it :)
