[libvirt-users] Compiling libvirt-0.8.4 for NFSv4

Hi all, Not sure if this will be useful to anyone. Worse, it's probably not complete or correct, but I thought I would throw this out there for comment. I asked earlier about configuring libvirt for NFSv4 support. I wanted to define NFSv4 pool from xml config, but it's not an option. I decided to hack a bit. Added the following to source code: storage_conf.h(417): enum virStoragePoolFormatFileSystemNet { VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_AUTO = 0, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_NFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_NFS4, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_GLUSTERFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_CIFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_LAST, }; storage_conf.c(64): VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virStoragePoolFormatFileSystemNet, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_LAST, "auto", "nfs", "nfs4", "glusterfs", "cifs") Compiled libvirt and then created storage pool xml: <pool type="netfs"> <name>pool2</name> <source> <host name="test_filer"/> <dir path="/libvirt"/> <format type="nfs4"/> </source> <target> <path>"/usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/images/nfsds2"</path> </target> </pool> 'Virsh pool-create [above xml]' works, using 'mount -t nfs4'. Again, this seemed too easy, so I won't be surprised if things break. However, I was just trying to demonstrate functionality in lab, so failures are fine short term. Please comment on flaws or improvements to this approach. Thanks, Paul Worner
