I remember you comment on my v2 series saying "we should wait until
qemu design settles ?"
So I have focused on them first, since they got merged on master
yesterday, I have resumed this patches :)

+static int
+virStorageSourceParseBackingJSONGluster(virStorageSourcePtr src,
+                                        virJSONValuePtr json,

[...]

+
+    /* gluster currently supports only URI syntax passed in as filename */
+    virReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, "%s",
+                   _("missing gluster URI in JSON backing volume definition"));
+
+    return -1;
+}

So this just has the skeleton atleast for now,
I think here our v3 patches should fit-in and do their job of JSON
parsing and formatting
IMO we already have most of the gluster work done here.

Let me know when you are expecting [1] go in, I shall wait for your
patch series.
And will be happy to help you with a rebase of gluster patches on top
of your pseudo JSON code.

What do you think ?
