Agreed, we still have a couple of clusters running CLVM and it's over 
complicated and can be unstable due to the nature of the required cluster 
locking. We're working to offload these currently. So stay away from CLVM if 
you can [😊]

+1 for Nux’ comment. CLVM is a challenge, and stability is an issue IMO.

    Hello,

    LVM is not a supported primary storage for Cloudstack. CLVM is, however 
that's not the same thing - and it's not really "local".
    I'd advise against using it, CLVM is not really a first class citizen in 
Cloudstack.

    If you can use local storage with qcow2, that'd be ideal. Easy to deploy, 
template, snapshot etc etc.
