Please don't open-code this as a 'str', but instead define it as an enum: { 'enum': 'GlusterTransport', 'data': [ 'tcp', 'rdma' ] } > + 'port': 'str' } } Should port be an integer instead of a string? I guess we already allow named ports in other network-related interfaces, but it would still be nice to have an 'alternate' type that allows both integer and string. It would be nice if your documentation of the parameters occurred in the same order as the parameters appear in the 'struct'. > + > +## > +# @BlockdevOptionsGluster > +# > +# Driver specific block device options for Gluster > +# > +# @volname: name of gluster volume where our VM image resides > +# > +# @image-path: absolute path to image file in gluster volume > +# > +# @backup-volfile-servers: holds multiple tuples of {server, transport, port} > +# > +# Since: 2.4+ s/2.4+/2.5/ > +## > +{ 'struct': 'BlockdevOptionsGluster', > + 'data': { 'volname': 'str', > + 'image-path': 'str', > + 'backup-volfile-servers': [ 'GlusterTuplePattern' ] } } Shouldn't this be simply 'volfile-servers', as you are including the primary server in addition to the backup servers? > + > +## > # @BlockdevOptions > # > # Options for creating a block device. > @@ -1814,6 +1851,7 @@ > 'ftp': 'BlockdevOptionsFile', > 'ftps': 'BlockdevOptionsFile', > # TODO gluster: Wait for structured options > + 'gluster': 'BlockdevOptionsGluster', > 'host_cdrom': 'BlockdevOptionsFile', > 'host_device':'BlockdevOptionsFile', > 'host_floppy':'BlockdevOptionsFile', > There's also work on the list to expose NBD in a structured fashion; I'm a bit worried that the two proposals might need to be sharing some common functionality, rather than independently inventing slightly different syntax. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
