I don't recommend you use VDI images in this way; we do not intend to support performant RW access; support for VDI images is there to convert to qcow2 or raw, generally.
That said, some questions that might be interesting to know the answer to: - Try converting your VDI image to raw or qcow2 and mounting that instead. Does the conversion work successfully? Can you export that image via qemu-nbd and mount it? Does it work? - Do non-BTRFS filesystems cause any problems? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877418 Title: qemu-nbd freezes access to VDI file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1877418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
