From ee968619cf936f0e25299beb1996abc27ed3dc72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "M. Mohan Kumar" Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:46:05 +0530 Subject: xlators: Add Block Device(BD) backend translator Add a new server storage xlator 'bd mapper'. Intention of this xlator is to add block device backend support to gluster. It exports block devices as regular files to the gluster client. The immediate goal of this translator is to use logical volumes to store VM images and expose them as files to QEMU/KVM. Given Volume group is represented as directory and its logical volumes as files. By exporting LUNs/LVs as regular files, it becomes possible to: * Associate each VM to a LV/LUN * Use file system commands like cp to take copy of VM images * Create linked clones of VM by doing LV snapshot at server side * Implement thin provisioning by developing a qcow2 translator As of now this patchset maps only logical volumes. BD Mapper volume file specifies which Volume group to export to the client. BD xlator exports the volume group as a directory and all logical volumes under that as regular files. BD xlator uses lvm2-devel APIs for getting the list of Volume Groups and Logical Volumes in the system. The eventual goal of this work is to support thin provisioning, snapshot, copy etc of VM images seamlessly in glusterfs storage environment BUG: 805138 Change-Id: I13b69d39d7fd199c101c8e9e4f2cf10772bdc3dd Signed-off-by: M.
