How about using Stateless CentOS system with: http://plone.lucidsolutions.co.nz/linux/io/using-centos-5.2-stateless-linux-support-on-a-flash-based-root-filesystem#section-13, then mounting KVM guests system as read-only, shutting it down and then setting KVM guests virtual drive file as read-only for KVM. That ways change of read-only to write would have no effect on the HDD/image. But I do not know if this is possible from KVM "read-only" point of view. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
