I saw some blog discussion about this idea as well.  It seems pretty 
much tailor made for enabling live migration & machine sharing for 
small-scale (e.g. Home SysAdmin) virtualization setups that don't really 
have the hardware for a full on SAN setup but still want to avoid 
loading everything onto a single machine.
