The new command 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk' requests the start of an asynchronous commit operation across the entire chain of $disk. Further arguments can fine-tune which portion of the chain is committed. Existing 'virsh blockjob' commands can then track the status, change the bandwidth, or abort the commit job. With a bit more on the command line, 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk --wait --verbose' can be used for blocking behavior, with visual feedback on the overall status, and can be canceled with Ctrl-C. The overall design, including the wait loop logic, borrows heavily from the existing blockpull command. * tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): New function. * tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document 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.
