Hello Stefan, Kevin I don't want to diversify my GSoC applications. I thought I should do my best of supporting fully VHD and add asynchronous io into block/vpc.c via coroutines. I noticed that there is "splitting hard disk images" feature in VHD specification. I have take a look of block/raw-win32.c and guess there isn't this feature in block/vpc.c. I am wondering whether what I learned is right??
