Hello,

I'd like to put forward the following proposal for your appreciation, in
order to add flexibility to the node configuration, so one can choose to
store guest's images in a different device than the core
OS/config/log/data today.

In essence, proposal involves the following:

- Addition of a new top level install menu called "Advanced Storage
Configuration" where one can select a storage device to which should the
guest's images be stored.
- Next to the device selection, creates a new volume group -
HostVG-Images - to be mounted at /images
- Perform adjustments do /var/lib/libvirt/images "mount binds"
against /images 

Comments ?
