To support testing of "volume" disk backing, we need to implement a few disk driver backend functions. The fake storage driver uses files in storagepoolxml2xmlout/POOLNAME.xml as XML files for pool definitions and volume names are in format "VOL_TYPE+VOL_PATH". By default type "block" is assumed (for iSCSI test compatibility). The choice of this approach along with implemented functions was made so that <disk type='volume'> can be tested in the xml2argv test.
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.
