[one-users] Accounting of storage used by user

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

I see three ways to approach storage billing:

- Bill according to the available storage (limit set in the quotas).

- Bill the storage used by the running VMs. This was not possible before
4.4, the DISK/SIZE was added for the storage scheduling. Now you can do
this:
$ oneacct -u 0 -x | xpath -e
"/HISTORY_RECORDS/HISTORY/VM/TEMPLATE/DISK/SIZE"

- Bill the DS usage. This usage is tracked in the user quotas, but we don't
keep a history for the changes made here. You could create a script to
store the user quotas information in a database with a timestamp, and
trigger it with a hook [1] on image create and image remove.

Regards
