Greetings from an ancient thread (but the most recent on to openstack-dev about localfs that I can find).<br>
<br>
In 2014, which were heady times, we decided that we couldn't deprecate nova.virt.disk.vfs.localfs because we theorised that FreeBSD and containers would soon need it. Oh, and xenapi uses it a little too.<br>
<br>
It is now three years later, and there has been some recent thought given to deprecating localfs again, which I bumped into when I chose this code as the first candidate for a prototype privsep user inside the nova codebase [1].<br>
<br>
I think we therefore need to have this conversation again. Do we still have any clear use cases for localfs? Where does guestfs not run at the moment? Or did I waste my time privsep'ing localfs?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michael<br>

We agreed at the Pike PTG to drop the VFSLocalFS driver. See the recap notes from the PTG:<br>

I think it's just a matter of cleaning this up:<br>
