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 :-)

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. Sven
