Hi all,

Just an FYI we've dropped some code into the development portal that you might 
find useful with 3.0 installations...

http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1154

Cut/paste from the issue...

The attached qcow2+mds.tar.gz provides image/transfer drivers for qcow2 and 
multiple datastore. The primary purpose for these drivers was to provide qcow2 
thin cloning and multiple datastore support. For our use cases the drivers work 
perfectly with 3.0.

These drivers change datastore pathing (see attached image). On the frontend, 
datastores are mounted under /srv/datastore/${GNAME} where GNAME is the same as 
VDC. On hosts, its assumed a host belongs to a single VDC, the specific 
datastore is mounted as /srv/vm.

The image driver (mds) supports both url and file based images and will place 
images into the appropriate datastore. Note the mkfs script has never been 
implemented and will simply log and exit.

The transfer manager (qcow2) thin cloning reduces VM provisioning to seconds 
and saves significant storage. Any 'saveas' operations converts the thin clone 
back to a full image before copying back into the image repository. Persistent 
VMs, just like the nfs/shared transfer manager, is a symlink. Portions of the 
driver borrow from the ssh driver.
