How can I add an image file type to the list of image types that libguestfs supports? I see raw, qcow2, vmdk, ect. I would like to add support for a new type. Where should I begin? -Kai Meyer

libguestfs doesn't support any disk types as such. It just uses whatever qemu supports, so the place to add a new disk type would be in qemu: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tree;f=block;hb=HEAD No special action is required in libguestfs; it will just inherit access to the new format once qemu has it.
