Hi Maciej,

That's interesting.  The following also seems to suggest that nova has
those shared storage dependencies for live migration that I spoke about:

http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/5938

That's obsolete for Grizzly. True live migration works fine with an
rbd-backed instance. I haven't checked Havana yet, particularly with
libvirt_image_type using rbd. If anyone's interested in checking out
the new libvirt_image_type option, now is a good time to catch
any bugs before Havana is released.

Thanks
Darren

    Apparently the code is not used in case of rbd. I didnt notice any
    issues caused by this method.

    Nova does not require any changes. Only cinder.
