Re: [vdsm] [Engine-devel] Fwd: the procedure of storage-related

[Vered Volansky]

I'm not that familiarized with the code myself and can't tell you without looking
into it and debugging it.
What I would do is - for any command I'd like the internal flow of - start at the top
(All vds commands are listed when you type vdsClient, without the need to actually run
something).
You can then search the specific command you're interested in in the code, and see the
flow there.
You can obviously run a specific command if you have the correct setup and follow through
with the vdsm.log to see the exact flow. You can, of course, add your own debug messages
to make things clearer for you, as the vdsm log is logged to very frequently.
