Hi,
For backing chain that all images are iscsi network disk type , such as
iscsi://ip/iqn../0(base image) <-iscsi://ip/iqn../1(active image).
Currently, 'qemu-img info --backing-chain' command can display correct
backing file info, but after starting guest with the active image in
backing chain, it don't include the related <backingStore> element in
dumpxml.
So, Whether libvirt can support all backing chain layer are iscsi
network disk type?
Libvirt can't introspect the backing chain for certain storage
technologies, thus the <backingStore> elements are missing for them.
Note that the chain should show up as unterminated (not having
<backingStore/> in the last visible layer) which indicates that there
may be images libvirt can't inspect.
This will eventually be solved by keeping the full backing chain in the
XML.
