Libvirt patch for Ubuntu 14.04 to create image format 2 by default

Libvirt patch for Ubuntu 14.04 to create image format 2 by default

[Wido den Hollander]

Hi James (CC to devel),

I've been trying to get a patch [0] into libvirt for the last couple of 
months to have libvirt create RBD images format 2 by default.

The response from the RedHat people has been zero until thus far. Since 
this would be great for both OpenStack and CloudStack I'm thinking about 
Ubuntu 14.04.

If the patch makes it into Libvirt in let's say 6 weeks it will probably 
not make it into 14.04 since that has been feature frozen.

Is there a way we can get this patch into Libvirt for Ubuntu 14.04? I'm 
confident it will make it into Libvirt upstream, I just need somebody to 
look at it.

FYI OpenStack already uses format 2 images, we don’t have this problem.

Chuck's happy to hold the patch in the Ubuntu packages; it will go
into trusty with the next upload.

Cheers

So, I've been trying to poke people at RedHat over and over for the last 
couple of weeks, but no results so far...

I got a response that the patch didn't apply to master anymore, so I 
came up with a new version [0] of the patch, but afterwards there has 
been radio silence again.

I'm working on a couple of extra patches for libvirt, but I want the 
first patch in their asap since that's the most important one.

If there is somebody with contacts inside RedHat who could help, please 
point them to that patch. I would very much appreciate that!
