You're far from the only person trying to achieve that result, there's plenty of interest in it, and a few approaches being suggested. I can't see a current cinder spec open for this, so it might be worth you starting one, you're more likely to get detailed feedback about the pitfalls there. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
