[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES storage/qemu-server 0/9] storage configuration-dependent format info

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

The LVM plugin can only use qcow2 format when the
'snapshot-as-volume-chain' configuration option is set. The format
information is currently only recorded statically in the plugin data.
This causes issues, for example, restoring a guest volume that uses
qcow2 as a format hint on an LVM storage without the option set will
fail, because the plugin data indicates that qcow2 is supported.
Introduce a dedicated method, so that plugins can indicate what
actually is supported according to the storage configuration.

In case the 'snapshot-as-volume-chain' option is set for the LVM
storage, qcow2 is even preferred and thus declared the default format.

As a second step, a dedicated resolve_format_hint() helper is
introduced.

That second part requires a dependency and a breaks between
qemu-server and pve-storage.

storage:

Fiona Ebner (6):
  api change log: improve style consistency a bit
  plugin: add get_formats() method and use it instead of
    default_format()
  lvm plugin: implement get_formats() method
  api: status: rely on get_formats() method for determining
    format-related info
  introduce resolve_format_hint() helper
  default format helper: only return default format
