what about the tap: driver and friends?  qcow:?    (these are issues
I will need to figure out)   LVM snapshots are so slow that I find them
unsuable, so I'm not really losing much by moving to the tap: driver 
(granted, I am pushing my disks to the limit.  lvm snapshots work fine if 
your disks are lightly loaded and/or faster than mine.)
