Hi Fiona,
do we still support glusterfs for pve9 (as it's deprecated)?

Objet: [pve-devel] [RFC storage 1/3] plugin: add method to get qemu
blockdevice options for volume
Date: 09/05/2025 16:15:30
There intentionally is only handling for absolute paths in the default
plugin implementation. Any plugin requiring more needs to implement
the method itself.

I discussed this with Fabian off-list. With PVE 9 being a major
release and most popular plugins not using special protocols like
'rbd://', this seems acceptable. He'll also give a heads-up to known
plugin developers with other changes for PVE 9 in time.
For NBD, etc. qemu-server should construct the blockdev object.
Still missing API bump + Changelog
Did not test snapshots yet.

+Returns a hash reference with the basic options needed to open the
volume via QEMU's C<-blockdev>
+API. This at least requires a C<< $blockdev->{driver} >> and a
reference to the image, e.g.
+C<< $blockdev->{filename} >> for the C<file> driver. For files, the
C<file> driver can be used. For
+host block devices, the C<host_device> driver can be used. The plugin
must not set options like
+C<cache> or C<aio>. Those are managed by qemu-server and will be
overwritten. For other available
+drivers and the exact specification of the options, see
