Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] resize: add virStorageVolResize() API

And perhaps when someone encounters a situation that they need to work, they can help contribute patches - the important thing to note is that we can backport patches that implement the features without breaking API, but we can't backport the new API without bumping the .so version, so the goal is to get an API that we can agree to in the source now, but then we have a bit more breathing room on getting the implementation working. At any rate, I've gone ahead and pushed these two patches, so you can rebase your implementation patches on top of this and see what flags you can implement and for which file types. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
