[one-users] using real disk partitions for storage?

[Dan Yocum]

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for the tip.

I realized late yesterday that allocating and formatting a disk 
partition requires root permissions, which the oneadmin user doesn't 
possess.  It might be worthwhile to re-think the level of permissions 
and the write access available to certain block devices.  Maybe put 
oneadmin in the 'disk' group and grant write access on certain 
partitions on the worker nodes...

Anyway, since this is a one-off installation, I just used virt-manager 
to create the VM.

Thanks,
Dan
