Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2 12/33] storage: Determine the local storage type right away

When walking the backing chain we previously set the storage type to _FILE and let the virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFDInternal update it to the correct type later on. This patch moves the actual storage type determination to the place where we parse the backing store name so that the code can later be switched to use virStorageFileReadHeader() directly. --- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+)
