[pve-devel] [RFC access-control/manager 0/4] fix #1148: nested pools

[Fabian Grünbichler]

this series extends the poolname to allow (for now) two '/' inside the
name to nest pools like this;

parent/child/grandchild

since '/' is a bad character for path parameters, some API shuffling is
needed. other approaches that were tried but discarded, or rejected
outright:
- urlencoding
- systemd-escape
- manual encoding/escaping
- just encoding the parent/children in user.cfg, but not in the pool name

RFC for now, but getting some feedback while I'm finishing up the
resource limit series based upon it might be sensible.

switching over some of the UI pool lists to also nest them visually should
be do-able as a follow-up.
