cifs ISO storage

[solved]cifs ISO storage

Hello all,

I have a cifs folder mounted in /mnt/iso
The folder has a lot of .iso files

When I go into the web interface I select "storage" and "add directory" ... I specify /mnt/iso and choose ISO out of the list .... Why on earth are my iso files arent appearing in the list? It also creates a template folder and a iso folder inside the template folder newly created.... I tried moving my isos from my original /mnt/iso to /mnt/iso/template and /mnt/iso/template/iso without being able to see them in the web interface ...

Please help....and why is it so complicated? if i type /mnt/iso i want to look at the /mnt/iso folder ...not /mnt/iso/whatev/whatever/whatever-subfolder created ...

Thank you for your time =)

mounted them into /var/lib/vz/template/iso .... if anyone wondering the logic behind the "add directory" just mount them there too and they will be inside the "local" storage

The idea is that you define a storage just once. Then you can define the usage type just via gui. ISO, templates, containers, VM images or backups.

For all different types directory are created below the give path. e.g. for ISO images its template/iso.
