Hi everyone, we would like to propose the first implementation of fspool
with directory backend.

Filesystem pools is a facility to manage filesystems resources similar
to how storage pools manages volume resources. Furthermore new API follows
storage API closely where it makes sense. Uploading/downloading operations
are not defined yet as it is not obvious how to make it properly. I guess
we can use some kind of tar to make a stream from a filesystem. Please share
you thoughts on this particular issue.

The patchset provides 'dir' backend which simply expose directories in some
directory in host filesystem. The virsh commands are provided too. So it is
ready to play with, just replace 'pool' in xml descriptions and virsh commands
to 'fspool' and 'volume' to 'item'.
Examle and usage:
Define:
virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-define-as fs_pool_name dir --target /path/on/host
Build
virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-build fs_pool_name
Start
virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-start fs_pool_name
Look inside
virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-list (--all) fspool_name

Fspool called POOL, on the host fs uses /fs_driver to hold items.
   virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-dumpxml POOL
   <fspool type='dir'>
     <name>POOL</name>
     <uuid>c57c9d7c-b1d5-4c45-ba9c-67f03d4da160</uuid>
     <capacity unit='bytes'>733722615808</capacity>
     <allocation unit='bytes'>1331486720</allocation>
     <available unit='bytes'>534810800128</available>
     <source>
     </source>
     <target>
       <path>/fs_driver</path>
       <permissions>
         <mode>0755</mode>
         <owner>0</owner>
         <group>0</group>
       </permissions>
     </target>
   </fspool>

virsh -c qemu:///system fspool-info POOL
Name:           POOL
UUID:           c57c9d7c-b1d5-4c45-ba9c-67f03d4da160

virsh -c qemu+unix:///system item-list POOL
   Name                 Path
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
item1                /fs_driver/item1
item10               /fs_driver/item10
item11               /fs_driver/item11
item12               /fs_driver/item12
item15               /fs_driver/item15

Fspool of directory type is some directory on host fs that holds items (subdirs).
Example of usage for items:
virsh -c vz+unix:///system item-create-as POOL item1 1g - create item
virsh -c qemu+unix:///system item-dumpxml item1 POOL
<fsitem>
     <name>item1</name>
     <key>/fs_driver/item1</key>
     <source>
       fspoo ='POOL'
Is this a typo, or is it really what you intend the <source>
content to look like. It seems rather odd to me
It should be <fspool name= 'POOL'/> but afterword  xml looks like:
<item>
  <name>item1</name>
  <key>/home/gray_pig/dirfspool/item1</key>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>1073741824</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>0</allocation>
  <target>
    <permissions>
      <mode>0600</mode>
      <owner>0</owner>
      <group>0</group>
    </permissions>
  </target>
</item>

     </source>
     <capacity unit='bytes'>0</capacity>
     <allocation unit='bytes'>0</allocation>
     <target>
       <format type='dir'/>
     </target>
   </fsitem>
virsh -c qemu+unix:///system item-info item1 POOL
