This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt. It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster. It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi. To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity. Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name is prefixed with "sheepdog:" and put into the <target><path>. To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>. The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

Since I justed approved the suggestion to reomve 'rbd:' prefix from RBD volume names, I think we should do the same here. So please remove the 'sheepdog:' prefix from the storage pool volume names. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-June/msg01090.html Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
