Test with other disk backing types

[twilligon]

libvirt has disk types other than the file and block that I've tried. See the libvirt docs (specifically the section on the source attribute).

Hi MM,
did this mean that network type of disk will be problem or you just want to test ?

<disk type='network' device='disk'> <source protocol='gluster' name='volume1/205/disk.0'> <host name='server1' port='12345' transport='tcp'/> </source> <target dev='vda'/> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/> </disk>

I don't think network disks will work correctly, because I didn't have the infrastructure to test them set up. The main issue is that I'm not sure one can create a local qcow2 image backed by a network disk.

My deployment is storage on GlusterFS, qcow2 images resides on Gluster volume, folder /storage/volume1/205/disk.0 (this is qcow2 image) and Qemu read this disk with libgfapi (Gluster API protocol), so this should be doable.
