[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/2] visrh dump compression support
Sorry, email was empty..
==
Add dump_image_format[] to qemu.conf and support compressed dump
at virsh dump. coredump compression is important for saving disk space
in an environment where multiple guest run.
(In general, "disk space for dump" is specially allocated and will be
a dead space in the system. It's used only at emergency. So, it's better
to have both of save_image_format and dump_image_format. "save" is done
in scheduled manner with enough calculated disk space for it.)
This code reuses some of save_image_format[] and supports the same format
with virsh save.
