Direct Access to Storage Space

[geofftech]

Is the a mechanism to access the storage space directly?

So that we could upload ISO images to be attached to VPS's etc...

Or is the storage space invisible to us and only available for the VPS image files?

This isn't something we are planning in the short term, although we can certainly see the reasons for doing so.

We are of course, led by customer demand (as we should be), so if we get a number of requests for it, it's definately something I would consider pushing up the roadmap.

It would be nice to have two separate spaces to have files. One where teh VPS images site and one where we can load other files - ISO, etc..

Then we could map an ISO as a CD drive, etc..

Or map the space itself as common disk space that all my VPSs could access.

This could lead to multiple - lets call them "buckets" - like S3 we can drop stuff into on the SAN - and (of course) get charged per GiB

In regards to common space we are able to offer NFS partitions.

We'll certainly keep it in mind though, I'll ask one of the developers to look into the possibilities.
