Hi - is there a configuration file or known solution to change the way iso uploads work?
Currently with my initial setup, when I upload an ISO, its staged under /var/ on one of the nodes and then copied to the ISO designated filesystems.
This seems like an oversight and there is no logical reason why the ISO upload cant be defined as a variable relative to the configuration item that explicitly defines the resource as an ISO / Template repository, or at the very least, there should be a configuration item that specifies the "staging area" for iso's or anything else that is uploadable.
I'm now wondering if, when I'm in a situation where I need to upload a VM image that may be 100's of GB, that I'm expected to maintain a cluster nodes root filesystem larger than that, just so I can upload an image that will then be copied to the actual destination location.
As a Unix and Linux sysadmin of over 20 years, I can easily work around this issue, but I have windows sysadmins that I need to work on this infrastructure with and this will catch them out.
Considering that uploading an ISO can actually bring down the nodes due to running out of space, at the very least, the staging directory should be made, by default, as a separate filesystem.
