When an image has no backing file, using VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO for its type is a bit confusing. Additionally, a future patch would like to reserve a default value for the case of no file type specified in the XML, but different from the current use of -1 to imply probing, since probing is not always safe. Also, a couple of file types were missing compared to supported code: libxl supports 'vhd', and qemu supports 'fat' for directories passed through as a file system. * src/util/storage_file.h (virStorageFileFormat): Add VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE, VIR_STORAGE_FILE_FAT, VIR_STORAGE_FILE_VHD. * src/util/storage_file.c (virStorageFileMatchesVersion): Match documentation when version probing not supported. (cowGetBackingStore, qcowXGetBackingStore, qcow1GetBackingStore) (qcow2GetBackingStoreFormat, qedGetBackingStore) (virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf) (virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD): Take NONE into account. * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Likewise. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Likewise. * src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStorageVolumeFormatFromString): New function. (poolTypeInfo): Use 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.
