This patch series implement qcow2 external snapshot support for files && lvm volumes
The current internal qcow2 snapshots have bad write performance because no metadatas can be preallocated.
This is particulary visible on a shared filesystem like ocfs2 or gfs2.
Also other bugs are freeze/lock reported by users since years on snapshots delete on nfs
(The disk access seem to be frozen during all the delete duration)
This also open doors for remote snapshot export-import for storage replication.
Changelog v4:
- use blocknode fixed names with sha1+base62
- use block-stream for snapshot delete
- qemu : use throttle qom object (no more x-throttle )
- various cleanup && refactoring from fabian comments
MAIN TODO:
- convert/implement all the backup code, dirty dirty bitmap, ...
- iscsi blockdev syntax
- ceph keyring as blockdev option
- unit tests
storage.cfg example:
dir: local2
path /var/liv/vz
content snippets,vztmpl,backup,images,iso,rootdir
snapext 1
lvm:test
vgname test
content images
