Increment_flatten can be executed using `qemu-img commit` instead of `qemu-img convert`
Description The goal is shorten the time and I/O required to merge the full and the next incremental on the chain when the keep_last value reached.
Use case
When we execute the qemu-img commit
on the top file that point to the base image (backing_file) or full image in this case. Only the changes of the incremental goes to override the clusters in the base image, even if there are more than 1 elements in the chain.
Interface Changes
remotes/datastore/rsync/increment_flatten
to modify the function merge_chain call
remotes/tm/lib/backup.rb
to add a new function the handle this scenario.
Additional Context Operations performed in the rsync host:
qemu-img commit -f qcow2 '/var/lib/one/datastores/100/7/768671/disk.0.3' โยท
mv '/var/lib/one/datastores/100/7/2757f7/disk.0.0' '/var/lib/one/datastores/100/7/768671/disk.0.3'
Progress Status
- [ ] Code committed
- [ ] Testing - QA
- [ ] Documentation (Release notes - resolved issues, compatibility, known issues)
This has a storage and backup time saving approach. Awsome nacho :)
