Yeah, I gave it a try myself (despite not being very good at Python;
been a system admin too long so I'm all about perl :) ), and didn't get
anywhere.

I don't think I've tried to reproduce it on a single machine setup.  I
think I've always gone ahead and added at least a second machine (even
if there was no VM other than the engine); stopping with one to see if
it happens is a good idea.  My dev cluster is actually down at the
moment (a dead UPS and nearby road/bridge construction are a bad
combination); I'll get it back online (and on a better UPS hopefully!)
today.

By "construct a VM" - do you mean building a setup inside a VM (with
nested virtualization), so everything is local?  My dev cluster iSCSI
SAN is targetcli on Linux (the prod setups are all EqualLogics), so I
know how to set that up.

Thank you for your help.
