Viewing storage configurations setup with alces storage command

[wdm78]

It would be useful to be able to see the names of storage configurations setup by users with the alces storage configure command.

What’s the use case here? Users can see what they have set up by using alces storage avail — is this for admin use?

[wdm78]

I think I was getting confused about what alces storage avail displays - ideally, I'd like a way to see both what storage areas are setup, and what storage types are enabled. I think alces storage avail is doing the former, when I'd wrongly assumed it was doing the latter. This issue should probably be about how to list what storage back-ends are enabled (or available to be enabled).

[mjtko]

If you want to see what backends are available, you can do this:

[vagrant@login-2bf7dc3(el7cluster) ~]$ al sto avail --backends
[ ] base/dropbox
[*] base/posix
[*] base/s3

Do we need both in one view? Maybe it's a bit confusing to have both behaviours under one command?

[mjtko]

Perhaps avail for backends and show to show the configured storage areas?

Moving to clusterware as it is more appropriate there
