i thought it might be good to post this on qemu-devel as well, as i see this as a general qemu / kvm / xen /whatevercomesnext issue .
are there any plans to implement a default in qemu to prevent accessing the same image multiple times ? i know that in xen they deal with this problem somehow xen specific. wouldn't it be good to prevent multiple access to the same image by default and add a switch to overwrite it ? i am sure other people had the same issue as i had (corrupting images) and would be great to prevent people in the future messing around with data loss :-) Sven Sven Oehme/Germany/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/27/2007 09:38 PM Please respond to Fedora/Linux Management Tools <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Fedora/Linux Management Tools <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Subject [et-mgmt-tools] Image Corruption Possible with qemu and qemu-kvm Hi, i corrupted a couple of virtual Linux images last week as i accidentally started them two times .. i opened a bug against qemu (not sure if this was a good idea) --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=253533 are there any plans to ensure that this can't happen in future releases of virt-manager with lock files in the image directory or similar ? thanks.
