Download/ploop/1.7

ploop is a tool and a library to control ploop block devices.

Warning: this is an old version of ploop. For the latest version, see Download/ploop/1.15.

Changes

Since version 1.6

New functionality

• Large ploop image format support
  • Now image size limit is 64 TB (was 2TB)
  • Testing kernel >= 042stab078 is required
• Move ploop_grow* functions from tools to lib
• ploop grow: add DiskDescriptor.xml support
• ploop init, ploop_create_image(): add FS blocksize parameter

Improvements

• make_fs(): create ext4fs with lazy_itable_init
  • 3x smaller size and 3x faster creation time for 20GB image
• lib/ploop.h: "unexport" some internal functions
• Use /proc/self/mountinfo to get mount point by device
• More clear errors on parsing DiskDescriptor.xml
• print_output(): generalize print_lsof(), improve
• add_delta(): print more diags if EBUSY
• extend_delta_array(): print errors, return SYSEXIT_*
• run_prg(): print error if execvp() failed
• lib/balloon.c: print file name in an error message
• Introduce and use p_memalign(), fix errno handling
• Improvements and fixes to ploop_grow_*() to be used from library
• ploop_read_disk_descr(): set *di to NULL in case of error
• ploop_find_dev(): always assume ploop cookie is supported
• resize_fs(): try harder to find resize2fs binary
• Makefile.inc: ability to add CFLAGS

Fixes

• lib/lock.c: create_file(): make sure dir exists (#2493, #2597)
• lib/fsutils.c: use ploop_execvp, drop absolute paths to binaries (#2595)
• ploop_log(): fix loglevel checking for file logging
• ploop_snapshot_switch_param: guids are const
• Recreate ploopXpY devices on ploop mount
• ploop_find_dev(): treat ENODEV as ENOENT on /sys reads
• use basename() to strip device from path
• ploop list: check for extra arguments
• ploop balloon: fix -f option processing
• Fixed lots of memory leaks, mostly on error paths
• open_delta(): simplify error handling
• Fixes for other issues big and small, reported by Coverity
