That's the commit I'm at: $ git describe v2.2.0-682-g16017c4 Run the NBD server, from git: $ /home/kashyapc/build/qemu/qemu-nbd -f qcow2 \ -p10809 ./f21vm.qcow2 -t Create the overlay: $ /home/kashyapc/build/qemu/qemu-img create \ -f qcow2 -F nbd -o backing_file=nbd://localhost overlay2-of-f21vm.qcow2 Segmentation fault (core dumped) Creating the overlay from the git-compiled `qemu-img` binary fails. So, let's create the overlay using the `qemu-img` binary from the system (RPM version noted above) and boot the overlay from the just compiled QEMU x86_64 binary from git, still core dumps: $ /home/kashyapc/build/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -nographic \ -nodefconfig \ -nodefaults \ -m 2048 \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \ -device virtio-serial-pci \ -serial stdio \ -drive file=./overlay2-f21vm.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio,cache=writeback Segmentation fault (core dumped) PS: I'm traveling, so I'll be a little slow to respond here, but can provide more debugging info from the coredump of `qemu-img` binary as I have access to a real computer. -- /kashyap
