[ovirt-users] Live Migration / Snapshots- CentOS 6.5

[Brad Bendy]

Haha, yeah never have been a Fedora fan, and nothing has changed. Is
the only big feature im missing out on is snapshots? From what I can
tell, and in my testing, everything else seems to work. Was deploying
GlusterFS but without the live migration to another host that is
somewhat defeated. Only way to get that is with RHEL really then?
