[Users] Problems with snapshots

[Juan Pablo Lorier]

Thanks Itamar,

The thing is that export doesn't copy the direct lun. About snapshots,
can it be done if the lun has lvm? I used to make a sort of live backup
using lvm snapshots with this luns, maybe this can be done within ovirt
in a future version.
Regards,
