[PATCHv6 4/7] lib: Introduce flag VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_RELATIVE

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

 



Introduce flag for the block commit API to allow the commit operation to
leave the chain relatively addressed. Also adds a virsh switch to enable
this behavior.
