[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 qemu-server 07/11] cfg2cmd: allow PBS snapshots as backing files for drives

[Stefan Reiter]

Uses the custom 'alloc-track' filter node to redirect writes to the
original drives target, while unwritten blocks will be read from the
specified PBS snapshot.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Reiter <s.reiter at proxmox.com>

v2:
* build logic directly into print_drive_commandline_full, instead of string
  replacements in config_to_command
* support "rbd:" storage paths as target
