Using a recent QEMU tree (5001), I can start a Windows XP VM (FAT32-based) in -snapshot mode, make changes, shutdown Windows (I have auto-power-off disabled) and then issue 'commit all' at the monitor prompt. The changes which I have made are then correctly stored back into the image file (raw format) when I next run up the VM.

Whenever I do the same thing with kvm-75, the image file is ruined when I next start up. Either I'll need to run scandisk and it will find and fix a battery of damaged directory entries, or it'll blue screen because some critical system file (e.g. registry hive) is missing.

Is the code which implements 'commit' the same between vanilla QEMU and kvm's version? Is this supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong?

Apologies that I have no additional troubleshooting info available.
