Bug skimming
------------
This is a topic which is better discussed on the ML. You will get better feedback there. This bug report also doesn't describe a fault/error in the behavior of Nova and is rather a change request/discussion which is not the focus of the issue tracker, that's why I change the status to "Invalid".

** Changed in: nova
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Make use of _check_shared_storage_test_file configurable

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When searching for documentations how to configure live migration
  when using Libvirt/KVM with Cinder/Ceph (RBD) you can find a lot of
  notes mentioning that the method _check_shared_storage_test_file in
  nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py should always return True to disable this
  check, because a shared /var/lib/nova/instances is not necessary in
  this case.

  Does it make sense to make the check for the usage of a shared storage
  for /var/lib/nova/instances configurable?

  Or to not check for the existence of a shared /var/lib/nova/instances
  if images_type == rbd?
