Open Stack

I'm not sure that it would be particularly easy to make nova-volume
support clustered filesystems; the current model only supports
attaching a volume to a single instance at a time. Aside from that, it
shouldn't be too hard to use fc as the data path instead of iscsi.
We're looking at using iSER in a similar capacity.
