[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ceph/rbd block driver for qemu-kvm (v4)

[Christian Brunner]

After the release of ceph 0.21 I felt it was about time to re-submit
the qemu block driver for ceph:

This is an updated block driver for the distributed file system Ceph
(http://ceph.newdream.net/). This driver uses librados (which
is part of the Ceph server) for direct access to the Ceph object
store and is running entirely in userspace.

It now has (read only) snapshot support and passes all relevant
qemu-iotests.

To compile the driver you need at least ceph 0.21.

Additional information is available on the Ceph-Wiki:

http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Kvm-rbd

The patch is based on git://repo.or.cz/qemu/kevin.git block
