That is a really bad idea. There is no locking / monitoring of these
files by libvirtd. It expects them to be on local disk, exclusively
used locally.

If you're setting up a cluster, then it is recommended to have a
master storage of XML files elsewhere, and then sync them to the
individual nodes as meeded.
