qemu-block: support readdirp

2013-09-17T18:22:01+00:00

Support the readdirp fop in qemu-block to ensure that image files
are handled correctly when readdirp is enabled. E.g., without
readdirp support, incorrect stat data for formatted files can be
reported back (and cached) via the client.

features/qemu-block: support for QCOW2 and QED formats

2013-09-03T18:26:26+00:00

This patch adds support for internals snapshots using QCOW2 and
general framework for external snapshots (next patch) with
QCOW2 and QED.

For internal snapshots, the file must be "initialized" or
"formatted" into QCOW2 format, and specify a file size.

Snapshots can be created, deleted, and applied ("goto").

e.g:

 // Format and Initialize

sh# setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.block-format -v qcow2:10GB /mnt/imgfile
sh# ls -l /mnt/imgfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10G Jul 18 21:20 imgfile

 // Create a snapshot

sh# setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.block-snapshot-create -v name1 imgfile

 // Apply a snapshot

sh# setfattr -n trusted.gluterfs.block-snapshot-goto -v name1 imgfile
