This isn't a guaranteed certain answer, but IIRC tmpfs uses system RAM and swap as its storage. Therefore a guest writing into its tmpfs space would only touch the host filesystem if it were to use the swapfile. As you say you're using the snapshot mode it would, if the swapfile is touched, go into the snapshot temp file, otherwise it wouldn't. -- Michael "Soruk" McConnell Eridani Star System MailStripper - http://www.MailStripper.eu/ - SMTP spam filter Mail Me Anywhere - http://www.MailMeAnywhere.com/ - Mobile email _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
