[libvirt] [PATCH 0/9] Vol Zeroing API

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

 



This patch set contains a new API for zeroing out volumes.  I called
it zero out rather than overwrite because it doesn't overwrite
anything in the case of sparse files.  It does guarantee that any
subsequent reads from the volume will return zeroes.

The ESX driver change is part of the patch.  Without it, the struct is
missing its initializer and fails to build.  I'm not sure what our
position on the style of struct initializers is; there are both forms
in the code.  If this style is heresy, we should add a statement to
that effect in HACKING.
