RFCv2:
* Publishing RFC again to discuss the new user-visible interfaces. Code has
changed quite a bit, I have not kept any Reviewed-by tags.
* Rename qemu-img sub-command "measure" and API bdrv_measure() [Nir]
* Report both "required bytes" and "fully allocated bytes" to handle the empty
image file and prealloc use cases [Nir and Dan]
* Use bdrv_getlength() instead of bdrv_nb_sectors() [Berto]
* Rename "err" label "out" in qemu-img-cmds.c [Nir]
* Add basic qcow2 support, doesn't support qemu-img convert from existing
files yet
RFCv1:
* Publishing patch series with just raw support, no qcow2 yet. Please review
the command-line interface and let me know if you are happy with this
approach.
Users and management tools sometimes need to know the size required for a new
disk image so that an LVM volume, SAN LUN, etc can be allocated ahead of time.
Image formats like qcow2 have non-trivial metadata that makes it hard to
estimate the exact size without knowledge of file format internals.
This patch series introduces a new qemu-img sub-command that calculates the
required size for both image creation and conversion scenarios.
The conversion scenario is:
$ qemu-img measure -f raw -O qcow2 input.img
required bytes: 1327680
fully allocated bytes: 1074069504
Here an existing image file is taken and the output includes the space required
for data from the input image file.
The creation scenario is:
$ qemu-img measure -O qcow2 --size 5G
required bytes: 327680
fully allocated bytes: 1074069504
Stefan Hajnoczi (8):
block: add bdrv_measure() API
raw-format: add bdrv_measure() support
qcow2: extract preallocation calculation function
qcow2: extract image creation option parsing
qcow2: add bdrv_measure() support
qemu-img: add measure subcommand
qemu-iotests: support per-format golden output files
iotests: add test 178 for qemu-img measure
