Can't remove "Templates" from a storage

Hey,

I just installed Proxmox 2.0 and I am doing some tests before rolling it out as a dev server. I did a Debian-based install which went just perfect, and everything is working as far as I can tell.

I originally set up a single 1.8TB LVM VG and took out 1.75 for /var in order to use it as storage for Proxmox. I left some space unassigned because I had read you need some extra space in your VG in order to do snapshot-based backups. I later noticed in order to do this you also need to backup into a separate LV, so I resized my /var LV and created a new 100G one that I mounted on /opt.

I then added /opt as a storage directory and set it to be used for templates and backups. I then tried to "unset" the "Templates" option from my "local" storage (aka /var/lib/vz). Although I can "save" in the "edit" dialog of the storage page, the "Templates" options is always there. I don't have this problem with the "Backups" options that I can unset just fine.

I checked and none of my existing VMs reference templates or ISOs in that storage. I even dropped all my VMs to be sure. The /etc/pve/storage.cfg doesn't list "backups" as an option, so something else is going on. Looks like a bug to me. See the attached screenshot for reference.

It's not really troubling but then whenever I create a VM I have to pick the storage for the templates instead of having it selected by default. This will be annoying when people ask me about it every 10 minutes :(

This is the openvz default location to store templates, so this is always enabled to avoid problems with openvz.
