That does sound like the best option then. Would you mind proposing a nova patch? On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 8:37 AM, Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> wrote:

That sounds like a reasonable option. How far back is the shared disk type supported? As of Icehouse (the oldest supported version I believe), the minimum supported libvirt version is 0.9.6. It would be simpler if it could be a simple change that doesn't have to be if/else'd for different libvirt versions.
The <shareable/> element was added back in 0.4.2 release (we're talking about mid 2008). So I wouldn't fear of it. Here's an example XML taken from one of our unit tests to show you how to use it:
<disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source dev='/dev/HostVG/QEMUGuest1'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <shareable/> <serial>XYZXYZXYZYXXYZYZYXYZY</serial> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk>
