Subject: qdisk vs. file as vbd type
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:40:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140110144024.GA19611@aepfle.de> (raw)


What is the reason the backend 'type' property of a configured disk is
now "qdisk" instead of "file"? Would the guest really care about that
detail?  For example block-front currently just checks for "phy" and
"file" when deciding if discard should be enabled.
I wonder if that guest-visible change was well thought.
