[libvirt] [PATCHv2 4/9] snapshot: Add support for specifying snapshot disk backing type

Peter Krempa pkrempa at redhat.com
Thu Jan 16 13:14:33 UTC 2014


Add support for specifying various types when doing snapshots. This will
later allow to do snapshots on network backed volumes. Disks of type
'volume' are not supported by snapshots (yet).

Notes:
    Version 2:
    - always format disk type and fix fallout

+            documentation for further information.

+            Libvirt currently supports the <code>type</code> element in the qemu
+            driver and supported values are <code>file</code> and
