Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:20:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <WC20250731012040.2400D8@sianit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1753870180.tbicayir20.astroid@yuna.none>
The rationale is for iSCSI multipath configurations. Many users migrating to
Proxmox have multiple iSCSI storage entries pointing to the same underlying
storage for redundancy.
These create clutter in the sidebar and don't show useful capacity
information since they represent the same storage.
The 'hidden' option allows keeping multipath functionality intact while
hiding redundant entries from the web interface, providing a cleaner
management experience for enterprise iSCSI multipath setups.

I think the rationale is "hidden" in the bug report - for some setups
you might have N iSCSI storages backing a single shared LVM storage, and
those iSCSI storages pollute the UI view since only the LVM storage on
top is actually relevant for the user/admin in daily operations..
