Hello qemu-devel, I'm trying to determine whether the -snapshot option is a valid one to minimize writes to disk (in my case a flash drive). In particular I wonder if the final write, that is the one you do with the 'commit hda' in the qemu monitor, is the exact sum of all the individual writes or smaller.
As an empiric test, I have loaded a Debian image, installed a program (5 Mb, according to apt-get), removed the program, committed the snapshot, halted the system: the original qcow image has grown of about 18 MB. What do you think? Ottavio ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Try Netflix today!
