Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Osier Yang 27758859c7 storage: Add fs pool formatting
This patch adds the ability to make the filesystem for a filesystem
pool during a pool build.

The patch adds two new flags, no overwrite and overwrite, to control
when mkfs gets executed.  By default, the patch preserves the
current behavior, i.e., if no flags are specified, pool build on a
filesystem pool only makes the directory on which the filesystem
will be mounted.

If the no overwrite flag is specified, the target device is checked
to determine if a filesystem of the type specified in the pool is
present.  If a filesystem of that type is already present, mkfs is
not executed and the build call returns an error.  Otherwise, mkfs
is executed and any data present on the device is overwritten.

If the overwrite flag is specified, mkfs is always executed, and any
existing data on the target device is overwritten unconditionally.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
