[one-users] the synchronous problem between the cancel operation and tm_delete.sh for lxc driver

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi

It seems that this behavior is problematic. Let me elaborate on Simon
comment. As pointed out by Simon there are two similar VM operations:

* delete, this is equivalent to kill -9 It is a hard kill of the VM.
It does not check anything and trigger cancellation/delete actions to
free the associated resources. It is supposed to be used when a VM is
stuck in any state.

* cancel, it cancels the VM and cleans the resources but checks and
synchro is in place.

Note that this synchronization problem is only for VM's in running.

This seems to be confusing, we are thinking of moving the delete
operation to the ADMIN set (so you need admin permissions to delete)
and so force users to use the safer cancel operation... Any thoughts?

Ruben
