2013-12-04qemu-nbd: support internal snapshot exportWenchao Xia
Now it is possible to directly export an internal snapshot, which can be used to probe the snapshot's contents without qemu-img convert. Signed-off-by: Wenchao Xia <xiawenc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-04-15Add -f FMT / --format FMT arg to qemu-nbdDaniel P. Berrange
Currently the qemu-nbd program will auto-detect the format of any disk it is given. This behaviour is known to be insecure. For example, if qemu-nbd initially exposes a 'raw' file to an unprivileged app, and that app runs 'qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=/etc/shadow /dev/nbd0' then the next time the app is started, the qemu-nbd will now detect it as a 'qcow2' file and expose /etc/shadow to the unprivileged app. The only way to avoid this is to explicitly tell qemu-nbd what disk format to use on the command line, completely disabling auto-detection. This patch adds a '-f' / '--format' arg for this purpose, mirroring what is already available via qemu-img and qemu commands. qemu-nbd --format raw -p 9000 evil.img will now always use raw, regardless of what format 'evil.img' looks like it contains Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
