Libvirt exists to manage existing hypervisor capabilities. It makes

sense for libvirt to be able to create storage volumes for a new
protocol if there are no hypervisors that are also able to support that
storage format. So until qemu can target your new storage protocol, it
doesn't make sense to have libvirt support it either.
Thanks, i see. Eric, if you have free time, could you please give me some
suggestions about following qestions, thanks in advance ;-)
Morita added network disk support for Libvirt, which supported
nbd, rbd, sheepdog, and other protocols. Now, i wanna test
network disk support for sheepdog solely. I have following questions.
1, Before this test, whether should i build the environment of sheepdog
or other projects (QEMU)?
2, How could i test network disk support of sheepdog in Libvirt? Which
steps should i do for it?
3, Network disk support can support online storage management, right?
