Refreshes meta-information such as allocation, capacity, format, etc. Ploop volumes differ from other volume types. Path to volume is the path to directory with image file root.hds and DiskDescriptor.xml. https://openvz.org/Ploop/format Due to this fact, operations of opening the volume have to be done once again. get the information. To decide whether the given volume is ploops one, it is necessary to check the presence of root.hds and DiskDescriptor.xml files in volumes' directory. Only in this case the volume can be manipulated as the ploops one. Such strategy helps us to resolve problems that might occure, when we upload some other volume type from ploop source.

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.
