I have the same thoughts. Morita, thanks for your help.
You can also see another emali i sent to you a moment ago named
"Add a new block storage driver by Libvirt/Qemu way for Openstack",
which says how to add a new block storage for Openstack in details.
I hope you can review that one and give me your suggestions if you
have free time. Thanks in advance ;-)
