It should be used also by xen. The specs are available here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/f/e/ffef50a5-07dd-4cf8-aaa3-442c0673a029/Virtual%20Hard%20Disk%20Format%20Spec_10_18_06.doc I would like to implement proper VHD support for qemu using such information. In order to not duplicate effort, I would like to know if some one is already working on updating current vpc block driver.
