Great! Would that be version 3.4 or 4.0?

datastores. In particular, there is a special one (the system datastore)
for storing disk images of running VMs (the /var/lib/one/<vm_id>/images
dirs). Among other benefits this allows the use of multiple datastore types
(TM if you will), and better plan and keep your storage. We keep the
/var/lib/one/<vm_id> for storing deployment files, transfer scripts and the
like. You can think of this directory as a kind of /proc fro VMs.

directories right under '/var/lib/one/'. It makes it harder to have
different types of storage for running non-persistent storage and
persistent images, also it creates a ton of clutter on the '/var/lib/one/'
location. Why can't the running VMs get their own mount point like
'/var/lib/one/vms' or something?
