描述

### The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to have support for the `data-file` functionality of libvirt 10.10 supported on newer hosts. This way one would be able to use a lot of different backup solutions such as virtnbdbackup to back up VMs running on a Ceph primary storage.

> * qemu: Support for the 'data-file' QCOW2 image feature
>
> The QEMU hypervisor driver now supports QCOW2 images with 'data-file'
feature present (both when probing form the image itself and when specified
explicitly via ```` element). This can be useful when it's
required to keep data "raw" on disk, but the use case requires features
of the QCOW2 format such as incremental backups.

There are probably a lot of things to take into account, but it would still be a great improvement.

研究方向

先閱讀所引用的 libvirt 10.10 data-file 功能說明,並追蹤 CloudStack 如何處理 Ceph 主要儲存上的 QCOW2 映像。找出涉及的 storage 和 hypervisor 入口點以及現有測試;完成的標準是,較新的主機能夠為以 Ceph 為後端的 VM 使用 QCOW2 data-file 映像,同時不破壞現有的映像處理。
