Hey Greg,
so if I understand well, you want to have the disk on the hypervisors be used as Swift nodes right?
is there any underlying RAID?

Up until now, our virts have been using the local Compute node's disk space for their images which, obviously, defeats much of the purpose of a virtualizing.  We are ready to implement an iSCSI SAN, but we're a bit bummed that we're going to essentially be wasting the copious disk space on all the systems we ordered to serve as Compute nodes.
