It depends on the environment. To support cold/live migration, having
network-attached storage will be required; and file images on NFS would
be an extremely simple-to-setup way to achieve that.
Personally I use LVM block devices almost exclusively when doing single-
node testing, but NFS files are the easiest way I've got to share those
images.
