[pve-devel] Upload and import disk images

I'm not sure it's possible to pipe to qemu-img.

also, maybe it could be possible with raw source file, but qcow2,vmdk,vhdx have some headers and specific structure, so it seem difficult.


One way is to implement an nbd server daemon/agent on the source server or user desktop(where the source file are located)
"
Then qemu-img could use it as source.

The idea is sonething like this: 
- add an upload button next to resize for each disk 
- use the iso / cd upload code for uploading (current browsers do not seem to have an upload limit) 
- directly pipe to qemu-img so no need to aquire temp space for image 

Do you think this will work?
