But that image won't be auto-updated the next time the master is updated. Besides, under sVirt protections of libvirt, libvirt would have to pre-create the file (because libvirt intentionally denies qemu the ability to create files), so libvirt would have to be aware of the default. It's not much harder to make libvirt aware of handling a split image, and a split image is easier to handle than having to copy the default into a destination. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
