This is bad terminology on oVirt's part.  I was wanting to add local 
SATA disk as I have a 1 node environment with no shared storage.  To 
accomplish what I really wanted to do, I had to change the datacenter 
storage type to local storage, the a local file system option appeared 
in the create new storage domain diaglog.

oVirt/RHEV team really needs a good documentation writer, as this 
storage option isn't even documented in the storage section of the 
administration guide.

Installing my first 4.2 system, and it's obvious the documentation 
writer hasn't sat down and down and done a clean install.  Lots of stuff 
missing.

I've never looked at Proxmox, but it's taking the hobbyist and small 
environment virtualization world by storm, especially after Xen's latest 
licensing changes.  oVirt should have this.  But it's way too 
complicated and way too fragile and way under documented.
