The wording is fine, but I think a tooltip instead of a displayfield would be better.
Also, don't forget that the 'shared' flag also exists for LVM storage.

As a side note, the documentation does not really explain the flag at all. I think
one short paragraph on the effects of this flag and when/how to use it would not hurt.

Cheers,
