Can we give an example? Cribbing from patch 3, an example might look like changing: json:{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.filename":"rbd:rbd/name"} into: json:{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.pool":"rbd", "file.image":"name"} I'll let Peter or John comment on whether libvirt's RBD pool handler is impacted by this deprecation, but it seems reasonable to me. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
