I would like to give a brief background on the storage management API and library that I have been working on** and discuss the design and implementation challenges that I have encountered thus far. Most notable is the same topic Shyam Iyer brought up about proprietary plug-in support (http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132454179114038&w=2). This very feature has influenced libStorageMgmt heavily and has raised a number of discussions on design and licensing. Discussion topics * Scope (What a storage library should/should not do) * Role (library position in management stack) * Features (specific: must have to would be nice) * Usage scenarios which highlight needed features * Licensing (most appropriate open source license) * Proprietary plug-in support ** http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libstoragemgmt Regards, Tony Asleson -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
