[kvm-devel] qcow2 image growing without reason ?
Hi, I've been running kvm21 for a long time (just upgraded to kvm-33 with 2.6.22.1) I have a 60GB qcow2 image, I noticed the image was growing without me installing software on the guest os...(WIN XP) When I select all my files and take properties (in win xp that is), it says 3.7GB, as expected... The image is allmost the double though (6.4GB) when i look at the qcow2 image, when taking the properties of the HD in win xp it also indictates 6.4GB. I've been installing some software, after each install I did a restart, bakupped the image etc... Any idea's ? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Maybe you have a large paging file, or perhaps you need to run chkdsk. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hum, then the used disk space is 6.4GB. "Selecting all files" may skip hidden/system/whatever files according to explorer settings. Luca - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
