libvirt users - Sep 2010 - libvirt support for sheepdog file system

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to extend libvirt to support sheepdog for qemu/kvm and
found that storage code is placed in src/storage. Storing files in
sheepdog is independent of file system and we just need to specify
vm-name on qemu command ine. Here are the following comands used for
creating and running a VM using qemu

qemu-img create sheepdog:MyImage001 25G
qemu-system-x86_64 sheepdog:MyImage001


I would appreciate if any one provide pointers on incorporating
sheepdog functionality to libvirt.


Thanks,
Narendra.

Hi Narendra,

This sounds relevant, have you come across it?

I've only just seen it now, but it looks like it might do what you want.

?
