I also have two questions.

1, Before create Sheepdog volume by virsh command, i must build Sheepdog
and libvirt environment, right?

2, There are all the commit logs of Sheepdog, which can be found here.
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=sheepdog
Therefore, i cannot catch the changes you made in the latest Libvirt git tree.
The patch you made for Libvirt at 2010-12-09, which was merged by Eric Blake.
Shoud i download Eric Blake's git tree? But where is Eric Blake's git tree?
Morita, could you please tell me how i can get your patch's git tree?
Your patch can be found here.

Thanks for your help very much ;-)
