qemu-block: deprecated/defunct, remove from tree

2016-03-07T11:34:59+00:00

qemu-block xlator is not used by anyone, or so I'm told.

It's also substantially out of date. There's little reason to keep
it in our sources. (And FedoraProject doesn't like bundled software
either.)

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
