bximage: minor cleanups
TODO: write a new bximage utility in C++ and use the hdimage classes to create
and convert all image modes and to commit redologs to all base image modes.
- TODO: rewrite bximage / bxcommit stuff and use hdimage C++ classes to support
more commit / conversion types and to get rid of this code duplication.
header file that contains the required bswap code. This fix will be backported
for 2.5.1, but a better solution should be found for the next major release.
- bxcommit: fixed another big endian issue
You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
