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:

----- /etc/libvirtd.conf -------------------

allocate partition: "lvcreate -L %size -n %name XenVolGroup"
list partitions: "lvs --xml"

----------

We can provide sample scriptlets for different operating systems and 
storage configurations.

Rich.
