Subject: [PATCH v2 29/37] guestfs: Configure how many extra drives to provision
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2025 09:54:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250902135426.815079-30-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250902135426.815079-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Some workflows create several guests but use only one or two extra
storage drives per guest. Enable configurations that reduce the
amount of storage allocated per guest to conserve local persistent
storage space on the host.
