Support qcow datastore for Ceph storage #13618

Description

@draggeta

The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to have support for the data-file functionality of libvirt 10.10 supported on newer hosts. This way one would be able to use a lot of different backup solutions such as virtnbdbackup to back up data from cloudstack nodes.

  • qemu: Support for the 'data-file' QCOW2 image feature

The QEMU hypervisor driver now supports QCOW2 images with 'data-file'
feature present (both when probing form the image itself and when specified
explicitly via <dataStore> element). This can be useful when it's
required to keep data "raw" on disk, but the use case requires features
of the QCOW2 format such as incremental backups.

There are probably a lot of things to take into account, but it would still be a great improvement.
