virtnbdmap: support mapping compressed backup images

Open abbbi opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

It should be possible to map compressed images too. One idea would be:

  1. detect compressed image and read trailer in virtnbdmap
  2. add info about the compressed block (length and original length / offset) to the blockmap json
  3. in virtnbd-nbdkit-plugin detect if requested block is compressed, decompress and return decompressed data
