This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going
to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue
of older requests that have come on.

In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and
spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to
implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint
(and spec).

Title:
  Old style Images with vhd files tarred along with a folder are not
  handled in nova xen plugin

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  There are some legacy snapshots which are uploaded into swift, with
  vhd files bundled in a folder called "image".

  They are in the below format,
  image/
              snap.vhd
              image.vhd

  
  Right now, in glance plugin, after downloading the image, when we try to handle old style images, we expected vhd files to be downloaded in the staging_path.

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/etc/xapi.d/plugins/utils.py#167

  But in this case of legacy images, there is a folder called "image"
  with vhd files, downloaded in the staging path.

  So, the level of recursiveness in the downloaded image is not
  supported today, while handling old style image.
