[PATCH 02/11] virsh: Fix man page argument ordering for vol-clone command

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The proper command order is 'virsh vol-clone source-vol target-vol pool'.
While making the modification clean up the description a bit too in
order to help clarify under what circumstances the source-vol could be
found if the pool name was not provided.

 [I<--prealloc-metadata>] preallocate metadata (for qcow2 images which don't
 support full allocation). This option creates a sparse image file with metadata,
 resulting in higher performance compared to images with no preallocation and
 only slightly higher initial disk space usage.

 When I<--reflink> is specified, perform a COW lightweight copy,
 where the data blocks are copied only when modified.
 If this is not possible, the copy fails.
