+Benefits
decent file system, but that needs an efficient direct I/O implementation
in the VFS layer which is still being worked on.
== Benefits ==
• File system journal is not bottleneck anymore
* Large-size image files I/O instead of lots of small-size files I/O on management operations
• Disk quota can be implemented based on virtual device sizes. No need for sub-tree quotas
•Live backup is easy and consistent
•Live migration is reliable and efficient
•Different containers may use file systems of different types and properties
•No need to limit “number-of-inodes-per-container
In addition:
* Efficient container creation
• [Potential] support for QCOW2 and other image formats
• Support for different storage types
