[pve-devel] ZFS storage

[Pablo Ruiz]

Implementing a simple provider which would simple call an script was my
initial attempt at.. and I even sent to the list a first initial set of
patches, which then as requested by list members I evolved into the more
radical approach you've seen now. :?

I'll try to refactor the code back into an specific LunCmd implementation
which simply invokes an script and send the results to the list.

Regards
Pablo
