[one-users] OpenNebula 3.8.3 Failed to Delete VM on ESXi Host

[chenxiang at aquala-tech.com]

I looked into the related source code in 4.0. It seems that the DSID
problem was fixed in 4.0. How about permission problem?

Can I simple overwrite the 3.8.4 version ~/var/remotes/tm/vmfs directory
with the one from 4.0?
