[one-users] Create Swap locally

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi

This could be done by modifying the mkswap script from the shared driver.
As you'll see it is just calling mkimage, so you either use that script for
mkswap with the following modifications, or update mkimage so the changes
will affect to all volatile disks. So my proposal would be:

1.- Create a local storage area in the hosts e.g. /var/scratch
2.- Update the scrtip to create the volumes in that directory
3.- Link the file in /var/scratch to the path currently used in mkimage
4.- Update the delete script so when a file linked to /var/scratch is
deleted it'll follow the link.

Good luck,

Ruben

PS: OpenNebula 4.4 does also report storage size for system DS and
considers the space left to make scheduling decisions. To apply this to 4.4
it'd need to update the monitor_ds.sh probe to report the size of
/var/scratch.
