HI, Richard
Is there any plan to make daemon to directly run on the hypervisor,
not starting a guest? e.g. directly export a guest image to be a block
device on the hypervisor?
Not in 1.28, but adding lxc:// support to the libvirt backend
(src/launch-libvirt.c) would be fairly easy.
It's an idea that has been kicked around before on the list, eg:
