Since that thread is split across two months, can I bring to everyone's
attention the post I made yesterday:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-October/msg00057.html
In particular the concept at the end that we shouldn't even try to
support every possible remote storage, but instead allow the
administrator to write "scriptlets" (small shell scripts with a
well-defined input & output) to perform a set of operations:
This is really just an implementation detail. We still need to define the
storage concepts we want to expose in the public API, before figuring out
on the backend implementation. Most of the implementation wiill pretty much
have to follow the scheme of just invoking command line tools like lvcreate
and lvs, since formal APIs are scarse.
