[one-users] sharing the persistent image

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi

The rationale behind this is that ONLY one user can use a persistent
image at the same time, otherwise there'll be consistency problems
(i.e. which modifications will persist?). In other to prevent this
OpenNebula only allowa one instance at a time using the image. Also as
only one instance is allowed OpenNebula does not allow to share a
persistent image with others...

Probably this is a good enough default. If you need to use the same
image by a group (and bypass the default checks) you can use an ACL,
rather than sharing a password.

Cheers

Ruben
