The source image and COWed image should be in the same drectory. In my case the source image was in directory /var/lib/libvirt/images/ and the COWed image was in /home/prasad/Virtual directory. While debuging the source code using gdb I realized this limitation. It would be good to fix this problem. I will see if I can solve this problem. One more question on the same lines, How does QEMU detect the file is COWed and the name of the file (not whole path) from it is COWed? Once again thank a lot Stefan and Kegin > Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
