Hm, yes you have a point there ... cheers for that. Will have to think 
this though. :)

I'm strictly interested in Cloudstack's role here, the HV doesn't care 
that much (KVM).

Subject: Limit on number of primary storages?

Hi,

How good is Cloudstack with multiple primary storages and is there a limit on 
them? If I keep adding SANs to it, will it do the right thing and try to 
balance things out?
