This patch series add a new extension - zoned format - to the
qcow2 driver thereby allowing full zoned storage emulation on
the qcow2 img file. Users can attach such a qcow2 file to the
guest as a zoned device.
To create a qcow2 file with zoned format, use command like this:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 -o size=768M -o
zone_size=64M -o zone_capacity=64M -o zone_nr_conv=0 -o
max_append_sectors=512 -o max_open_zones=0 -o max_active_zones=0
-o zoned_profile=zbc
Then add it to the QEMU command line:
-blockdev
node-name=drive1,driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=../qemu/test.qcow2
\
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive1 \
