Switch to optimized data cluster format for VHD and QCOW#122
Merged
Conversation
This reduces memory consumption during QCOW import. Temporarily drop the unit test commits to avoid qemu-img build dependency. Flip the xapi.conf switch to make vhd and qcow interval formats consistent - this is going to be the new default once XenServer tests it. Signed-off-by: Andrii Sultanov <andriy.sultanov@vates.tech>
