[one-users] storage mount for VMs

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi,

Yes, you are right. Next version of OpenNebula features multiple
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.

Thanks for your comments

Ruben
