Please always post such discussions about patches/development to the
developer list, so others can see it too ;) Also, please use

For non-German speakers: Stefan is concerned that users will run into
errors when the node is not automatically restricted.

Well, it actually *is* an error if the storage is configured for all
nodes and not available on the current (i.e. from where it's added) node.

But you do have a point of course, because why would a user even change
the node to scan, if the storage is already available on the current node.

I'd still rather not change the default restriction behavior (see
below). Maybe we should just auto-restrict if the user actively changed
the node to scan?
