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.

Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is different from the <driver> element in disk devices which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices is already used for the driver backend, for which the disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh. Anyway for disks we have <driver name="qemu" type="raw"/> And for filesystems this change means we now have <driver type="loop" format="raw"/> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
