i'd just want to add my '+1 votes' on both getting rid of JVM
dependency and using block devices (usually LVM) instead of ext3/btrfs

If the chunks into which the virtual drives are split are quite small (say
the 64MB used by Hadoop), LVM may be a less appropriate choice. It doesn't
support very large numbers of very small logical volumes very well.

Also, on _loaded_ systems, I noticed creating/removing logical volumes can take really long (several minutes); where allocating a file of a given size would just take a fraction of that.

Sot sure how it would matter here, but probably it would.
