I am sure VDSM hook is not the ideal way to add this functionality in VDSM, would request inputs from experts on this list on what would be a better way in VDSM to exploit QEMU-GlusterFS native integration ? Ideally based on the Storage Domain type and options used, there should be a way in VDSM to modify the libvirt XML formed.
from your discussion with saggi, the recommended approach was a gluster storage domain. do i understand correctly that here are two ways to consume the images via qemu: block based or file based? would there also be a difference in how these images are provisioned (i.e., would this imply a gluster_fs and a gluster_block storage domains, which sounds somewhat of an overkill, unless there are very good different use cases for this)?
