File based domains are responsible for syncing up object manipulation
(creation\deletion)
The backend is responsible for making sure it all works either by having a single writer
(NFS) or having it's own locking mechanism (gluster).
In our LVM based domains VDSM is responsible for basic object manipulation.
The current design uses an approach where there is a single host responsible for object
creation\deleteion it is the SRM\SDM\SPM\S?M.
If we ever find a way to make it fully clustered without a big hit in performance the S?M
requirement will be removed form that type of domain.
I would like to see us maintain a LOCALFS domain as well. For this, we would
also need SRM, correct?
