[one-users] wrong restart -> delete disk image!

Thu Sep 8 07:08:18 PDT 2011

Hi Samuel,

It is safe to change the code, just a couple of comments:

Before stopping OpenNebula, check that there are not any VMs in a transient
state (migrating, saving, etc.).
Then stop it, backup /var/lib/one (or $ONE_LOCATION/var), and use the '-k'
option of install.sh to keep your current etc folder.

Also take into account that we haven't tested the proposed solution.

Regards.
