Yes, it does. The removal of qemu-block from the Gluster sources should not affect the ability to use the gluster://volume/dir/image.qcow2 URLs with QEMU. QEMU uses libgfapi for this (see block/gluster.c in the QEMU sources if interested). > Please send an email either or both of the gluster-users or > gluster-devel mailings lists and register your opinion about the > proposal. I would like to see the question there as well. We can send an other confirmation about it. I am pretty confident that if one user has a quesion like this, many others would like to know the answer too.
