Convert an existing Image with qemu-img ================================================ qemu-img convert -t directsync lubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso sheepdog:lubuntu1404.iso ================================================= results in ==================================================== root@orion2:/var/lib/libvirt/xml# virsh vol-dumpxml --pool herd lubuntu1404.iso <volume type='network'> <name>lubuntu1404.iso</name> <key>herd/lubuntu1404.iso</key> <source> </source> <capacity unit='bytes'>750780416</capacity> <allocation unit='bytes'>750780416</allocation> <target> <path>lubuntu1404.iso</path> <format type='unknown'/> </target> </volume> ====================================================== 2.) creating a new volum using an xml-file (myvol.xml) ==================================================== <volume> <name>myvol</name> <key>sheep/myvol</key> <source> </source> <capacity unit='bytes'>53687091200</capacity> <allocation unit='bytes'>53687091200</allocation> <target> <path>sheepdog:myvol</path> <format type='unknown'/> <permissions> <mode>00</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </volume> ===================================================== now creating the volume ======================================================== virsh vol-create herd myvol.xml ========================================================= and now you see: ========================================================== root@orion2:/var/lib/libvirt/xml# virsh vol-dumpxml --pool herd myvol <volume type='network'> <name>myvol</name> <key>herd/myvol</key> <source> </source> <capacity unit='bytes'>53687091200</capacity> <allocation unit='bytes'>0</allocation> <target> <path>myvol</path> <format type='unknown'/> <permissions> <mode>00</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </volume> =========================================================== Is it possible to modify the path-variable manually ?
