My future work will modify the metadata crawler function to use the storage driver file APIs to access the files instead of accessing them directly so that we will be able to request the metadata for remote files too. To avoid linking the storage driver to every helper file using the utils code, the backing chain traversal function needs to be moved to the storage driver source. Additionally the virt-aa-helper and virstoragetest programs need to be linked with the storage driver as a result of this change.
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.
