Thats not true. You can do live kvm guest migration using RHEL/CentOS+RHCS+KVM using 
lvm volumes to allocate/install kvm guests, for example. In this case you don't need 
a shared filesystem ...

To accomplish a live kvm migration (or xen) you need a shared storage, not a 
clustered filesystem or shared filesystem.

I have two solaris zfs/nfs fileservers sharing storage to 5 ESXi servers and 
performance is very very good ... And it is a production system ...

This case isn't possible, because you can't mount an ext3 or ext4 filesystem at the 
same time in two or more hosts ...
