[Feature request] Import - support compressed disk images #7469

Open marekm72 opened 7 months ago

marekm72 commented 7 months ago

These files are often big, but compress well - so would it be possible for "Drop VHD,VMDK,RAW files here to import disks" to accept popular compressed formats (bz2/gz/xz) too? Decompression also serves as a quick integrity check (detect a random single bit flip in a multi-GB file).

In that case, decompression will happen on xo-server side, not on the host (just keep that in mind).
