[PATCH v2 1/1] storage: extend preallocation flags support for qemu-img

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

 



From: Wim ten Have <wim.ten.have@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds support to qcow2 formatted filesystem object storage by
instructing qemu-img to build them with preallocation=falloc whenever the
XML described storage <allocation> matches its <capacity>.  For all other
cases the filesystem stored objects are built with preallocation=metadata.
