Hello Dmitry,

This is off the topic of original email but related to RBD.

Looking through the code of LibvirtDriver._get_instance_disk_info() I 
noticed that it only returns data for disks with <source file=...> or 
<source dev=...> but not <source proto=...> so RBD backed instances 
would be incorrectly reported to have no ephemeral disks. I don't know 
if this is already handled somehow by RBD code but just wanted to bring 
it to your attention since you seem to be working on RBD support.

Best regards,
Dan
