Hi all,

I am not very clear about the usage of ‘virsh vol-wipe vol_name’. I think
if 'virsh vol-wipe vol_name' can just wipe all the datas in this volume and
it is similar as we format a volume which the datas would be wiped, right?
After this wipe, we can use this volume like a new one.
After i read the back-end storage drivers for libvirt, i cannot find any storage
driver like following

128     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DIR,      /* Local directory */
129     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_FS,       /* Local filesystem */
130     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS,    /* Networked filesystem - eg NFS, GFS, etc */
131     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_LOGICAL,  /* Logical volume groups / volumes */
132     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK,     /* Disk partitions */
133     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_ISCSI,    /* iSCSI targets */
134     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_SCSI,     /* SCSI HBA */
135     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_MPATH,    /* Multipath devices */
136     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_RBD,      /* RADOS Block Device */
137     VIR_STORAGE_POOL_SHEEPDOG, /* Sheepdog device */

has realized storageVolumeWipe feature. So how could we test this feature?

As Michal suggested in your previous mail, cscope is a good choice for
you to learn libvirt. E.g. If you looked at the public API for volWipe in
src/libvirt.c, and using cscope like:

cs find s volWipe

You will get where it's implemented.


Could anyone please give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

However, if users just want to wipe portions data of this volume, which
command(interface) of libvirt could finish?
