Milestone: 3.0

(In [702]) /trunk

Add "split block" feature. See #7. May still need a little tweaking
("List IPs" link for pools, refiddle rDNS template records?)

Also stubbed out "shrink block" (branch for "split block"), and added
a placeholder for "merge blocks".

  • Complete internal handling for "shrink block". See #7 (more or less).
  • Add "breadcrumb" navigation fragments to split/shrink prep and do pages
  • Add link to pool IP list on edit and split/shrink prep pages
  • Shave off some useless code showing the split results
  • Catch the theoretically impossible case of "no subact value" on submitting split/shrink form

Still need to add calls to monkey rDNS on split/shrink changes

Add rDNS update call for splitBlock(). Requires dnsadmin:trunk/@r680
for new RPC sub splitTemplate. See #7.
IPDB::splitBlock() required a change in argument handling to make sure
all the necessary bits got through where needed for the RPC call.

Review and revise splitBlock() and shrinkBlock() to properly handle
n-depth nested allocation structures, as well as making sure master
blocks can be shrunk or split without leaving dangling data. See #7.

(In [739]) /dev

Fix a lurking bug before I forget; splitting a largish container with
mostly free space would result in mangled free blocks. Any block larger
than the split size needs to be split as well and distributed between the
appropriate containers. See #7.

comment:8 by Kris Deugau, 9 years ago

(In [775]) /trunk

Further tweak splitBlock() to handle a contained block the same size as
its container - may be a common case in legacy data. Still leaves more
deeply nested same-sized container trees hanging but those should be
rare enough than manual intervention can patch it up well enough. See #7.
