Based on previous commit, we can now precreate missing volumes. While digging out the functionality from storage driver would be nicer, if you've seen the code it's nearly impossible. So I'm going from the other end: 1) For given disk target, disk path is looked up. 2) For the disk path, storage pool is looked up, a volume XML is constructed and then passed to virStorageVolCreateXML() which has all the knowledge how to create raw images, (encrypted) qcow(2) images, etc. One of the advantages of this approach is, we don't have to care about image conversion - qemu does that for us. So for instance, users can transform qcow2 into raw on migration (if the correct XML is passed to the migration API). Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
