Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] Adjust build/start format checking for fs, disk, and logical backends

Two of these patches (2 and 10) are followups to no-overwrite patches previously posted (I left links in the patches for reference). Essentially this series works to unify the probing code from the file system backend using blkid and the parted format reading code from the disk backend in one common set of functions. In doing so, the disk backend will now pick up the ability to use the blkid 'partitions' APIs in order to "probe" the target device for a valid/known partition format type. Additionally, the file system probe will pick up a fallback to the parted mechanism from the disk backend if the 'blkid' APIs are not built into the system. A few extra bells/whistles were added for fs pool startup to ensure that the format in the startup XML matches the format on the target disk, which is essentially the mechanism the disk backend used (although it was slightly broken). Then in order to really pile on, the overwrite logic was added to the logical pool which didn't have any such checking (both build and start). Testing was done locally using an iSCSI device and laying down different formats and seeing what would happen on various usages of the format (with --overwrite and --no-overwrite).
