Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] Add support for fd: protocol

Kevin/Daniel, thanks a lot for your input. In terms of the support that libvirt requires, I just want to make sure all bases are covered. In order for this support to be useful to libvirt, the following are required (sorry if this is repetitive): 1) -blockdev (backing file support) 2) savevm (snapshot support)

3) snapshot_blkdev (snapshot support) 4) 'change' monitor command 5) -cdrom and as far as I know, the status of the above is: 1) Someone is slated to work on this (not me) 2) I need to figure out how to "re-open" file without an open (me) 3) This will be covered by live snapshots feature (not me) 4) Should just work as is (me) 5) May also just work as is (me) In other words, 1 and 3 will not be implemented by me (except perhaps some re-usable infrastructure). Could you confirm my understanding?
