[ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi there,

I see that supported storage types in oVirt are: iSCSI, FCoE NFS, Local 
and Gluster.
Specifically speaking about iSCSI and FCoE I see they use LVM on the 
block storage level to store the Virtual Machines.

I just wanted to understand why the choice was to have LVM and if that 
is the only option at the moment.

Was ever considered to have something like GFS2 ou OCFS2 in comparison 
with VMFS5 and VMs running in qcow2 ou raw files on the top of it ?

I don't like LVM and have a strong preference for anything related to 
storage that doesn't use it so the reason I'm looking for a different 
way to use block storage without it having to be a LVM.

Thanks
Fernando
