Hi, From vdsm code i can see support for storage domain of type SHARED_FS But when trying to configure a new storage domain, i don't see SHARED_FS as a available domtype filed in the dropdown.
I want to use shared FS to connect to try and connect to gluster mount point on my node, but unable to as I don't see that option.
From http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PosixFSConnection - I understand that its the same as sharedFS, so what is PosixFSConnection then, is it just a new interface that provides a wrapper for what is sharedFS now ? Currently, the NAS the ovirt supports are local file system, and NFS. The status of this says Done, but I don't see the UI part of this, am I missing something. Look closer in http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PosixFSConnection#Current_Status ..
Vdsm has API support for mounting any Posix file system. but this is not yet available from oVirt Engine and GUI.
Also pls let me know if usign sharedFS to make the node use gluster mount is correct or not ? I do not think that anyone has tried this.. be the first! Sure :), but how ? since there is no UI support yet. Is there a way I can use the vdsm cli to drive, any ovirt wiki page

You'd have to do some digging into vdsm/storage/storage_connection.py for the right params to connectStorageServer.
Great, let me start and get back if i land up into issues. thanks for the pointer.
