[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/3] qcow2: introduce compression type feature |
|
Date: |
Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:00:47 +0300 |
The patch adds some preparation parts for incompatible compression type
feature to QCOW2 header that indicates that *all* compressed clusters
must be (de)compressed using a certain compression type.
It is implied that the compression type is set on the image creation and
can be changed only later by image conversion, thus compression type
defines the only compression algorithm used for the image.
The goal of the feature is to add support of other compression algorithms
to qcow2. For example, ZSTD which is more effective on compression than ZLIB.
It works roughly 2x faster than ZLIB providing a comparable compression ratio
and therefore provides a performance advantage in backup scenarios.
The default compression is ZLIB. Images created with ZLIB compression type
are backward compatible with older qemu versions.
