[pve-devel] get config from an "external" VM

[Stefan Priebe - Profihost AG]

Hi Dietmar,

just some ideas / suggestions.

First i'm really sorry that i got your owner = 0 wrong. I thought about 
a perl "boolean 0/1" and tought you meant $owner != $vmid. That's why i 
was still working with vmids instead of 0.

If we don't care about all corner cases with shared images. Wouldn't it 
be easier to leave then the disk assigned to a VM instead of using 0? 
Then it is at least possible to delete the volume through PVE.

Another idea would be to use vmid 0 and then have a list of shared 
volumes under
/etc/pve/sharedvol.cfg:
vm-0-disk-1: 123,125,126
vm-0-disk-2: 123,199,101

which can be read and modified by all nodes. So if the last reference to 
the volume get's deleted - the volume itself gets deleted too.

Greets,
Stefan
