Actually...I was about to say that this could make things easier. If the
volumes are reasonably sized then we don't need to worry as much about volume
locations since the load will be divided up. This sort of depends on their
usage being more like 'normal' volume usage and less like the classic
monolithic srvd.
The argument against that would be that we still would need to worry about
where the volumes were for updates and then we would have more to keep track
of.
Ted any load balencing thoughts?
