Our current workaround in oVirt is to use unsafe rebase to disconnect the top image from the base image so we can compare source and destination image after backup. Here is an example of test code that could use --shallow (regardless of --stat): https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-imageio/blob/master/daemon/test/backup_test.py#L114 Do you have any reason to limit --shallow to --stats? > + > Parameters to convert subcommand: > > .. program:: qemu-img-convert > @@ -395,7 +401,7 @@ Command description: > > The rate limit for the commit process is specified by ``-r``. > > -.. option:: compare [--object OBJECTDEF] [--image-opts] [-f FMT] [-F FMT] > [-T SRC_CACHE] [-p] [-q] [-s] [-U] [--stat [--block-size BLOCK_SIZE]] > FILENAME1 FILENAME2 > +.. option:: compare [--object OBJECTDEF] [--image-opts] [-f FMT] [-F FMT] > [-T SRC_CACHE] [-p] [-q] [-s] [-U] [--stat [--block-size BLOCK_SIZE] > [--shallow]] FILENAME1 FILENAME2 > > Check if two images have the same content.
