[Libguestfs] [PATCH 02/11] v2v: Factor out the nbdkit VDDK code into a new module.

This refactoring takes the nbdkit-specific code from the ‘-it vddk’ mode and puts it into a separate module. The idea is to reuse this module (in future commits) to support ssh, curl and rate limiting. This refactoring is not quite neutral because it moves some of the prechecking into the Nbdkit.create function. This means it will happen a little bit later in the cycle (in input#source instead of input#precheck - refer to the diagram in v2v/types.mli). However it's still almost in the same place and importantly still happens before we start copying. --- v2v/Makefile.am | 2 + v2v/input_libvirt_vddk.ml | 289 ++++++-------------------------------- v2v/nbdkit.ml | 280 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ v2v/nbdkit.mli | 47 +++++++ 4 files changed, 373 insertions(+), 245 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/Makefile.am b/v2v/Makefile.am index 39511022e..b391382f3 100644 --- a/v2v/Makefile.am +++ b/v2v/Makefile.am @@ -73,6 +73,7 @@ SOURCES_MLI = \ measure_disk.mli \ modules_list.mli \ name_from_disk.mli \ + nbdkit.mli \ networks.mli \ openstack_image_properties.mli \ output_glance.mli \ @@ -112,6 +113,7 @@ SOURCES_ML = \ var_expander.ml \ python_script.ml \ name_from_disk.ml \ + nbdkit.ml \ vCenter.ml \ libvirt_utils.ml \ DOM.ml \ diff --git a/v2v/input_libvirt_vddk.ml b/v2v/input_libvirt_vddk.ml index e2efef842..a553a1d10 100644 --- a/v2v/input_libvirt_vddk.ml +++ b/v2v/input_libvirt_vddk.ml @@ -18,8 +18,6 @@ (** [-i libvirt] when the source is VMware via nbdkit vddk plugin *) -open Unix - open Common_gettext.Gettext open Tools_utils open Std_utils @@ -95,115 +93,16 @@ let parse_input_options options = (* Subclass specialized for handling VMware via nbdkit vddk plugin. *) class input_libvirt_vddk input_conn input_password vddk_options parsed_uri guest = - (* The VDDK path. *) - let libdir = - try Some (List.assoc "libdir" vddk_options) - with Not_found -> None in - - (* VDDK libraries are located under lib32/ or lib64/ relative to the - * libdir.
