blktap-utils 2.0.90-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu precise
The Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) is an open source enterprise-ready server
virtualization and cloud computing platform, delivering the Xen Hypervisor
with support for a range of guest operating systems. This package is part
of it. It implements the userland part of the blktap driver.
.
Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file format standard which maps logical hard disk
contents to a physical disk image format, which can then be more efficiently
stored in a variety of different storage types, such as file systems or
logical volumes.
.
VHDs are container files storing block metadata alongside a virtual disk's
contents, in a single disk image. The metadata enables advanced storage
backend capabilities, such as thin provisioning, disk image snapshotting, and
coalescing of differencing disks.
.
This package contains user utilities to inspect, test, and manipulate
Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) images through libvhd, and the control utilities
needed to create destroy and manipulate devices ('tap-ctl'), the 'tapdisk'
driver program to perform tap devices I/O, and a number of image drivers.
