This patch adds a new 'storage.html' page to the website giving
examples of the XML format for each pool type, the XML format for
volumes, a description of all XML elements, and other storage pool
specific information.

This just stubs out an empty no-op storage driver impl for the test
driver. This is basically to prevent the ensure the test suite does
not try to contact the daemon for storage APIs, which would cause
tests to fail.
This needs to be extended to provide a fully-fledged test impl of
the storage API
This implements a storage pool for partitioning local disks.
It uses parted as the tool for reading & writing disk partitions.
Since parted is GPLv3, we cannot link against the code directly.
So, this driver calls out to the regular 'parted' command line
tool for creationg/deletion. For listing of
This provides a storage pool using the iSCSI protocol. Since there
is no API for iSCSI it is implemented by simply shelling out to the
iscsiadm command line tool. A pool corresponds to a single target
on the iSCSI server. Starting a pool logs into the server and maps
the target's LUNs into the loca
This patch implements a storage pool based on logical volume
management. The underlying implementation calls out to LVM
on Linux. A future implementation for Solaris would use the
ZFS pool support to achieve the same functionality. The LVM
impl uses the LVM command line tools, in particular lvs, an
This patch implements 3 storage pools in one go. This provides
the base level 'directory' storage pool, where an existing directory
contains files as volumes. This is guarenteed to be available on
any OS since it just uses plain POSIX apis for creation/deletion.
If qemu-img or qcow2-create command
This patch provides a couple of helper APIs used by the forthcoming
driver backends.
- virStorageBackendUpdateVolInfo - take a filename and virStorageVolPtr
and update the capacity/allocation information based on the file
stat() results. Also update the permissions data on owner/mode
This patch adds 3 extra commands to virsh to allow storage pools
and volumes to be defined & created without using XML. These have
the names 'pool-define-as', 'pool-create-as', 'vol-create-as'.
virsh will take the args to these commands and build suitable XML
to pass into the libvirt APIs. This is
This patch adds new virsh commands for all the libvirt storage APIs
allowing their use from the shell. The style follows that of the
existing domain & network commands, so I won't bother listing them
in great detail.
The only complexity is in dealing with the vol-XXX commands. These
can accept eit
This extends the generator / manual bindings to implement all the
storage APIs. Most are handle automatically, and those which are
not, pretty much follow the existing pattern for virDomain and
virNetwork APIs.

This patch adds support for the storage APIs to the remote driver
client end. As with the network driver, things are configured such
that all virtualization drivers will end up delegating to the remote
driver for storage APIs. There's not much interesting to say about
this patch since it just follo
This defines the public API for the storage pool and volume support.
The naming of the APIs follows the example set by the network and
domain APIs whereever the logical functions match. The main change
since previous iterations is the addition of an explicit API for
virStoragePoolBuild and virStora
The patch series that follows provides storage management APIs for dealing
with local directories, local filesystems, remote filesystems, logical
volumes (LVM), disk partitioning, and iSCSI. It will also soon support
SCSI host adapters (including NPIV).
I'll include comments inline with each patch
I added a slightly improved useless-if-before-free to gnulib, so this
patch makes bootstrap pull the script from there. It also pulls in a
vasnprintf module improvement: it works around a just-discovered bug in
HPUX 10.20's printf(3) implementation:
