Yes. I'm reposting that series today.

Currently backup to nbd target is broken, as nbd doesn't have .bdrv_get_info realization. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com> --- Hi all! Since commit commit 4c9bca7e39a6e07ad02c1dcde3478363344ec60b Author: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Date: Thu Feb 25 15:58:30 2016 -0500 block/backup: avoid copying less than full target clusters backup to nbd target is broken, we have "Couldn't determine the cluster size of the target image". Proposed NBD protocol extension - NBD_OPT_INFO should finally solve this problem. But until it is not realized, we need allow backup to nbd target due to backward compatibility. Furthermore, is it entirely ok to disallow backup if bds lacks .bdrv_get_info? Which behavior should be default: to fail backup or to use default cluster size? block/backup.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
