Re: [libvirt RFCv7 34/40] qemu: saveimage: add multifd-compression field to save format

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

 



One thing I was thinking about, beyond what is in this patch,

is that for the QEMU driver we could save the number of channels used for the --parallel save in the qemu SaveImage header as well.

This way, on restore libvirt would automatically know how many file it needs to load, and the
user does not need to know beforehand which --parallel-connections NN to use.

Still the --parallel on resume would be needed in the current design, but that could theoretically be dropped as well.
However, I wonder if that would create issues for other hypervisors implementing this, ie I presume keeping the --parallel flag would be the safest option.

Thanks,

Claudio
