On a side note, I'm actually a proponent of the storage plugin only talking to its storage api. Best to be hypervisor agnostic. Its just in the case of the default storage plugin the storage API is the cloudstack agent.
But enough about that, we can spin that off into another thread if we need to. This is about adding connect calls to the StorageAdaptor interface so custom storage pool types can prepare disks prior to use. I need to know how it will look going forward so I can continue my work.
