Actually there are a few more problems I forgot about:
- How should disks be named? Currently it uses <guestname>-000, -001 etc
IMHO this is good enough. The names are not that important, the UUID is
the key.
- How should the OVA file refer to disks?
By disk UUID and volume UUID. You should have the first one from the
upload API and I guess you'll have to query for the volume UUID
afterwards.
