Objet: [pve-devel] QEMU 1.4, Ceph RBD support (pvetest) 

Hi all, 

we just moved again a bunch of packages to our pvetest repository (on the road to Proxmox VE 2.3), including latest stable QEMU 1.4 and the GUI support for storing KVM VM disks on a Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD) storage system. 

Due to the new Backup and Restore implementation, KVM live backups of running virtual machines on Ceph RBD is no problem anymore - a quite unique feature and a big step forward. 

Other small improvements and changes: 
- qcow2 as default storage format, cache=none (previously raw) 
- KVM64 as default CPU type (previously qemu64) 
-e1000 as default NIC (previously rtl8139) 
- added omping to repo (for testing multicast between nodes) 
- task history per VM 
- enable/disable tablet for VM on GUI without stop/start of VM (you can use vmmouse instead, for lower CPU usage, works on modern Linux and on all Windows VMs as long as you install the vmmouse drivers) 
- Node Summary: added "KSM sharing" and "CPU Socket count" 

Everybody is encouraged to test and give feedback!
