Cole Robinson 381aa4050c devices: disk: Set discard=unmap by default for some cases 
This recommendation came from an internal discussion. The cases are

* For block storage. This means guest requests are passed through
  to the host device, which seems a more reasonable default than
  ignoring them

* For sparse disk images we will create. discard=unmap helps preserve
  the sparseness of the disk image. If a user requests non-sparse, they
  are likely more concerned with performance than saving disk space,
  so we leave the default as is. We limit this to disk images we will
  create, since that's the easiest case to check, and it's less clear
  if we should change the behavior here for an arbitrary existing
  disk image.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
