Hi all, I am trying to boot a real Linux OS inside qemu.
The OS resides on a real disk with a partition layout: 1. data 2. os 3. data Partiton 1 is being used by the host and i would like to hide it from guest. In virtualbox/vmware, this can be done by creating a vmdk file marking corresponding extent as "ZERO" and it will ignores all writes. e.g. version=1 encoding="UTF-8" CID=0510e33b parentCID=ffffffff isNativeSnapshot="no" createType="partitionedDevice" RW 34 FLAT "header" 0 RW 2014 ZERO RW 204800 ZERO RW 262144 ZERO RW 125364224 ZERO RW 1124425728 FLAT "/dev/sdc" 125833216 ... How can this be done in qemu/kvm? ching
