Although we can take qemu-block back, we need a plan to address the copied qemu sources to handle the qcow2 format. Reducing the bundled sources (in contrib/) is important. Do you have a feature page in the glusterfs-specs repository that explains the usability of qemu-block? I have not seen a discussion on gluster-devel about this yet either, otherwise I would have replied there... Nobody used this before, and I wonder if we should not design and develop a standard file-snapshot functionality that is not dependent on qcow2 format. Niels
