Hi Rasto,

cool stuff. It's sad that we end up with a competing thingy ... Maybe we
could keep Tim's pure web-ui for the monitoring and most simple bits and
have drbd-mc replace the python UI.

Some totally braindead questions (which show more of my ignorance than
I'm comfortable to admit):

How does it interact with the CRM shell? Does it issue XML changes
directly? What kind of network connection is required between the UI
client and the servers?

Do you plan to implement support for the utilization functionality?

What are you converting them to? Refering to /dev/disk/by-id/ is
perfectly fine, as these are stable (as is not necessarily true for the
device nams they point to.)

Have you looked at the proposal for the ACLs on the CIB, would these
work for your system?

Is there a chance to share more code between the various UIs that, I
think, we are going to keep going forward? (I'm pretty sure the crm
shell, the web-ui and yours are going to remain actively maintained.)

With the name you've chosen, you're sort of implying that you're mostly
focused on DRBD, whereas the actual code is much broader ... have you
considered calling it something more generic?
