Hi, Yes, you are right. Next version of OpenNebula features multiple datastores. In particular, there is a special one (the system datastore) for storing disk images of running VMs (the /var/lib/one/<vm_id>/images dirs). Among other benefits this allows the use of multiple datastore types (TM if you will), and better plan and keep your storage. We keep the /var/lib/one/<vm_id> for storing deployment files, transfer scripts and the like. You can think of this directory as a kind of /proc fro VMs.
