Hello,
     Got more questions on this, now that I am re-visiting this.
The last time i tried using SHAREDFS, i started from createStorageDomain 
verb, and it works fine.

But now we have connectStorageServer verb... which i believe is the new 
way of doing things ?
If i start from connectStorageServer verb to mount using SHAREDFS ( 
which goes via PosixFs... MountConnection flow), that won't help me 
entirely here, right ?
Because it only mounts based on the dict sent, but does not do anything 
with the image and metadata stuff ( which createStorageDomain flow did ).

I am wondering if its too early to start using connectStorageServer ? If 
not, how can i re-write the above vdsm standalone example using 
connectStorageServer instead of createStorageDomain flow ?
