Migration of VM/Container on custom storage type

Hi,

I'm developing a Proxmox storage plugin. Trying to use the 
high-availability features or migrating VMs/Containers to another 
hypervisor in the cluster I get error messages about the storage type 
I'm providing not being supported.

Looking at the source, it seems like there is a whitelist of 
storagetypes, and no feature check like e.g. for snapshotting. Am I 
right to assume there is currently no way of providing a storage backend 
that can use this functionality? Are there details beyond this check 
that prevent this possibility?

If I am reading the code correctly, are there plans to extend the Plugin 
API s.t. it becomes an option? Providing this feature would be an 
important addition to our plugin.

Thanks in advance &
kind regards
Max
