Hello, i had also a reproducible disk crash: info of the last good image, size is about 3,5GB
image: debian4_0.dsk file format: qcow2 virtual size: 16G (16777216000 bytes) disk size: 3.3G cluster_size: 4096 as soon as the image increase to a size of about 7,9 GB the emulator locks up, and after a restart the the image is not readable any more. the start of the image is filled with zeros, the signature of the file at the start (QFI ....) is overwritten. I tried it two times, started with a intact image with the size above and in both times the image was corrupted. Host: WIN2K Guest: Debian 4.0 Etch. qemu: 0.90 (build date 2007-02-19, the version that comes with http://www.davereyn.co.uk/qem/setupqemuk40.exe) I tested the image above with virtualbox (installed backup of the qemu disk with acronis trueimage and bart pe boot cd) , started with the above image, and the problems are gone, image is now filled with more than 9GB, no problem so far. I never experienced such a bad problem with qemu before, maybe it is a problem with qcow2 format ?
