AppStack Template in 2_14_2 (snapvol.cfg)

Dear community,

we made some modifications of the snapvol.cfg, so we are always replacing the .cfg in the template.

The reason is, we are using persistant machines. (It works fine for us)

We noticed, that the new snapvol.cfg in the template_workstation has the following parameter.

Any ideas, why this parameter was changed in V2_13? What did this parameter mean? This looks for me like a template for writables.

V. 2_14_2 template_workstation

scope=global

type=writable

################################################################

# File system

################################################################

virtualize=\

################################################################

# Registry

################################################################

< V. 2_13 (old snapvol.cfg)

type=application

os=64

scope=global

################################################################

# File system

################################################################

virtualize=\

################################################################

# Registry

Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK this is used for creating the appstack the first time.

After installing and sealing the appstack this line should be removed as it is no longer writable. I think the phrase being used might be a bit confusing as it seems to be a writable volume. But you can merely write and not only read the disk (hence it is writable) until you seal it.

its set to writeable while your provisioning it I beleive, once you finish the appstack it would change to the correct type.
