I was trying to find some documentation for this
field and the best I could find is:
https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/lib/vdsm/storage/constants.py
What do the numbers mean? The comments in the file indicate
that strings are valid too (eg. DISKTYPE=OVFS).
Also this patch as written will affect -o vdsm mode too (another
deprecated-ish mode where we write directly to the Storage Domain).
I don't know if that's right or not.
Rich.
