0. Is it a floating disk or a floating image? would be nice to use the 
same terminology for all projects, where possible 
(http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Storage_Terminology#Image)
1. I don't see why a disk name should be unique. I don't think it's 
enforceable under any normal circumstances: If user A decided to call 
his disk 'system', user B who is completely unaware of A cannot call his 
disk 'system' ? It should be unique at some level, but not system-wide.
2. I'm not sure I understand why exporting a floating disk is 'not 
supported'. In the current design? implementation? ever?
