On some VMs we tried to extract filesystem snapshots at runtime: qemu-img convert -s snapshot-id original.qcow2 snapshot.qcow2 (yes, that's not consistent, we're switching to external snapshots). But that should open the image read-only, right? Other operations where the qemu-monitor-commands "savevm" and "delvm". Although: we created a new qcow2 and even in that the filesystem got corrupted without any of the above actions. So we're pretty confident that those operations are not the sole cause. -- stepping stone GmbH Neufeldstrasse 9 CH-3012 Bern Telefon: +41 31 332 53 63 www.stepping-stone.ch tiziano.muel...@stepping-stone.ch
