[PATCH v4 2/7] vmdk: Add trivial backing_fmt support

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

 



vmdk already requires that if backing_file is present, that it be
another vmdk image (see vmdk_co_do_create).  Meanwhile, we want to
move towards always being explicit about the backing format for other
drivers where it matters.  So for convenience, make qemu-img create -F
vmdk work, while rejecting all other explicit formats (note that this
is only for QemuOpts usage; there is no change to the QAPI to allow a
format through -blockdev).
