Hi,

One of the features of the upcoming xapi 2.0 release will be improved VDI 
(disk) import/export support[1][2][3]. In particular xapi now has APIs to 
import/export data in vhd format: both sparse images and deltas. I’ve written 
up a doc describing how these APIs currently work on the wiki:

http://wiki.xensource.com/wiki/Disk_import/export_APIs

There’s still time before 2.0 to change how these work, so your comments and 
criticism would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Dave
