Re: [vdsm] Using vdsm hook to exploit gluster backend of qemu

Deepak,

I know that I am not relating to your main issue (sorry...), but...
I like the idea of a hook mangling qemu:commandline.
Could you (or someone else) contribute such a hook to upstream vdsm?
I'm sure many would thank a hook accepting general qemu command line as
custom property, and pass it to qemu command line.

and options used, there should be a way in VDSM to modify the libvirt
XML formed.


from your discussion with saggi, the recommended approach was a gluster 
storage domain.
do i understand correctly that here are two ways to consume the images 
via qemu: block based or file based?
would there also be a difference in how these images are provisioned 
(i.e., would this imply a gluster_fs and a gluster_block storage 
domains, which sounds somewhat of an overkill, unless there are very 
good different use cases for this)?

Dan,
Sure, i remember you asking for this on IRC. Its on my TODO list, 
and will get to it soon. My priority is the VDSM gluster integration for 
exploiting the gluster backend of qemu, and I am trying all different 
options possible, hooks being one of them.


thanx,
deepak
