Block replication is a very important feature which is used for

You can get the patch here:
https://github.com/wencongyang/qemu-colo/commits/block-replication-v2
Changs Log:
V2:
1. Redesign the secondary qemu(use image-fleecing)
2. Use Error objects to return error message
3. Address the comments from Max Reitz and Eric Blake
Wen Congyang (13):
docs: block replication's description
quorum: allow ignoring child errors
NBD client: connect to nbd server later
Add new block driver interfaces to control block replication
quorum: implement block driver interfaces for block replication
NBD client: implement block driver interfaces for block replication
allow writing to the backing file
Allow creating backup jobs when opening BDS
block: Parse "backing_reference" option to reference existing BDS
Backup: clear all bitmap when doing block checkpoint
qcow2: support colo
skip nbd_target when starting block replication
Don't allow a disk use backing reference target

When I try this patch with the MicroCheckpointing codebase, I'm having trouble
starting up the secondary/backup VM
using the branch "block-replication-v7"
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=none,driver=raw,file=file.raw,id=nbd_target1
-drive
if=virtio,driver=replication,mode=secondary,export=foo,file.file.filename=active_disk.qcow2,file.driver=qcow2,file.backing_reference.drive_id=nbd_target1,file.backing_reference.hidden-disk.file.filename=hidden_disk.qcow2,file.backing_reference.hidden-disk.driver=qcow2,file.backing_reference.hidden-disk.allow-write-backing-file=on
Block format 'qcow2' used by device '' doesn't support the option
'backing_reference.hidden-disk.allow-write-backing-file'
What am I doing wrong here?
The command is wrong. If you use the branch block-replication-v7, the command
line should like:
-drive
if=none,driver=raw,file=/data/images/kvm/suse/suse11_3.img,id=colo1,cache=none,aio=native
-drive
if=virtio,driver=replication,mode=secondary,throttling.bps-total-max=70000000,file.file.filename=/mnt/ramfs/active_disk.img,file.driver=qcow2,file.backing.file.filename=/mnt/ramfs/hidden_disk.img,file.backing.driver=qcow2,file.backing.allow-write-backing-file=on,file.backing.backing.backing_reference=colo1
Thanks

.
Also, this command line you sent doesn't have the export option, but
your wiki does. What's the difference?
