[Qemu-devel] virtual PC block driver status

[Paolo Abeni]

hello,

As noted before (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-10/msg00153.html)

Microsoft has published the format of virtual pc drive VHD. 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.

Best regards,

Paolo

You managed to do this work? I wrote the original driver, but have no
interest on working on it.
