This patch series implement qcow2 external snapshot support for files && lvm
volumes
The current internal qcow2 snapshots have bad write performance because no
metadatas can be preallocated.
This is particulary visible on a shared filesystem like ocfs2 or gfs2.
Also other bugs are freeze/lock reported by users since years on snapshots
delete on nfs
(The disk access seem to be frozen during all the delete duration)
This also open doors for remote snapshot export-import for storage replication.
Changelog v3:
storage:
- snapshots files now have the name of the snapshot, and "current" snapshot
is the vm volname
- allow only qcow2 format for base image for simplication
- merge snapshot code in lvmplugin (qcow2 format auto enable snapshot)
- the code is a lot more simple now
qemu-server:
- convertion -drive to modern -blockdev
This is needed for blockdev-reopen, where we need to create && switch to
snapshot files with same cache,aio,...
This is also needed to live rename snapshot files (to keep volname for
current snapshot)
I have implemented && tested:
- disk create,delete,resize,convert,drive_mirror, hotplug,unplug,nbd
mirror,cdrom insert/eject
- block protocol: file,block_device,rbd,nbd,glusterfs
Note that it's currently incomplete:
- proxmox backup/restore code need to be converted to blockdev, help
is needed
- iscsi:// path is not yet implemented (I'll look for the v4)
- efi still in drive format (not blocking, but I'll look for v4)
The live migration between -drive ---> --blockdev seem to work without
breaking, and seem to be
transparent for the guest ok, so I think we could try to target pve9 ?
storage.cfg example:
dir: local2
path /var/liv/vz
content snippets,vztmpl,backup,images,iso,rootdir
snapext 1
lvm:test
vgname test
content images
