Fair enough. I am running 4.0.1, so it must have been removed then. I would
restart the agent though to be safe. Might be worth asking on the dev list as

local storage path. Let me know if you find out what the new approach is as I
expect to be setting up a KVM cluster with 4.2 in the next couple months (which
will hopefully be the same). =D
