Could you please expain it clearer? > Thanks in advance ;-) Libvirt exists to manage existing hypervisor capabilities. It makes no sense for libvirt to be able to create storage volumes for a new protocol if there are no hypervisors that are also able to support that storage format. So until qemu can target your new storage protocol, it doesn't make sense to have libvirt support it either. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
