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.

Richard Laager c81bba4f6f ZFS: Support sparse volumes
By default, `zfs create -V ...` reserves space for the entire volsize,
plus some extra (which attempts to account for overhead).

If `zfs create -s -V ...` is used instead, zvols are (fully) sparse.

A middle ground (partial allocation) can be achieved with
`zfs create -s -o refreservation=... -V ...`.  Both libvirt and ZFS
support this approach, so the ZFS storage backend should support it.

         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.
