[libvirt] kvm-qemu emulator problem

[Pankaj Rawat]

Thanks for that, might be there is some other way to use fvd. Rather than the one I just used.

Actually it is a libvirt error message.

        if ((format = virStorageFileFormatTypeFromString(formatStr)) < 0) {
            virDomainReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
                                 _("unknown disk format '%s' for %s"),
                                 disk->driverType, disk->src);
            goto cleanup;
        }
    } else {

We don't have any support for FVD in src/util/storage_file.[ch]

We could add this in, but first we have to ask wether the FVD disk format
actually has any future ?  My understanding is that FVD is not going to
be merged into QEMU, and that the good ideas from it, will used to create
a QCow3 format.

Daniel
