Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH V4 1/2] qapi: Add SnapshotInfo and ImageInfo.
That seems backwards - with a raw file, don't you know the actual size, but have no idea what it can further grow to? In raw it commes from fstat() with the field st.st_blocks. from man: blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */ Benoît

Try the current qemy-img info on a raw file you will be surprised of the results. This field also can have an unavailable value. example result with unpatched qemu-img: benoit@Laure:~/qemu$ qemu-img info truc1.raw image: truc1.raw file format: raw virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes) disk size: 776M disk size is actual-size.
