Creating a temp file maybe? Cheers, Gildas

Hello, I'm currently developing an OS deployment tool similar to G4U (ghost for unix). This is a very basic tool - boot an initrd - configure network - ssh deployment-server "cat image.dd" > /dev/sda - reboot I'm using qemu to test my initrd and deployment tool and i would like replace my raw image format with qcow images (size/compression and crypto) - ssh deployment-server "cat image.qcow" | qemu-img - -O raw /dev/sda The problem is qemu-img can't read from stdin, so i tried : - mkfifo deploy-in.fifo - qemu-img convert deploy-in.fifo -O raw /dev/sda - ssh deployment-server "cat image.qcow" > deploy-in.fifo qemu-img: Could not open 'deploy-in.fifo' Is there any way to achieve this goal ?
