[one-users] one2 : save tag does not seem to work

[Olivier Sallou]

in system-wide installation, the "save" of the image on frontend is done 
in /var/lib/one.

This directory is not configurable in oned.conf. This can be an issue 
with disk size when many VMs are saved. Required storage can be huge.

An option of course is to copy the content then to mount this directory 
on an external file system (nfs or attached disk), but wouldn't it be 
easier to be able to specify the location of saved data?
