After more thinking, i dislike the image metadata approach. Management
must carry the information anyway, so its pointless to duplicate it
inside an image format.
After the discussion today, i think the internal mechanism and interface
should be different for copy and stream:
block copy
----------
With backing files:
1) base <- sn1 <- sn2
2) base <- copy
Without:
1) source
2) destination
Copy is only valid after switch has been performed. Same interface and
crash recovery characteristics for all image formats.
If management wants to support continuation, it must specify
blkcopy:sn2:copy on startup.
stream
------
1) base <- remote
2) base <- remote <- local
3) base <- local
"local" image is always valid. Requires backing file support.
