Description Peter Krempa 2018-08-30 16:39:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
Referring to members of the backing chain via filename is finicky ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614740 ) and requires 
digging through the backing chain data returned by query-block to find the name that qemu will accept ( https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c;h=3181805f9ce79d30b9aa011e9c5859576638f52f;hb=HEAD#l4474 ).

With -blockdev we will specify node names which are meant to refer to backing chain members but block-commit does not support them as arguments.

Comment 3 Ademar Reis 2018-09-05 15:53:18 UTC 
Requesting blocker+ because this is a missing piece for blockdev integration, which we need in RHEL-7.6 as it's critical to layered products.
