[Qemu-devel] QEMU block layer todo list

[Qemu-devel] QEMU block layer todo list

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The following wiki page contains a list of proposed tasks for the QEMU
block layer:

http://qemu-project.org/Features/Block/Todo

Benoit requested that we make the todo list viewable/editable.  This
is a good idea as it helps us focus and see what other developers are
thinking about.

There is no requirement to put tasks on the wiki.  Just sending
patches or discussing on the mailing list is fine.

The todo list is useful for large tasks or anything which cannot be
completed within a couple of weeks.  That way the tasks will not be
forgotten.

You can subscribe to the wiki changes RSS feed to follow edits:

I would like to add geometry and block size passthrough for host devices. See
the patches from Ekaterina Tumanova.
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-07/msg03791.html

On s390 we have a stricter requirement of passing through geometry and block size for DASD disk devices as this geometry is more than a imaginary number triplet. It is required for proper partition detection and is actually a property of the real (or better emulated on storage servers like DS8x000) disk.

I added this to the list.
