Hi,
Let's say we have this chain:
base <--- sn1 <--- sn2 <--- active
Can we shutdown the VM and "qemu-img convert sn2 -O qcow2 sn2_new" and
rebase active to sn2_new like this:
sn2_new <--- active
?
Yes. As long as the guest-visible data in 'base <- sn1 <- sn2' is
identical to the guest-visible data in 'sn2_new', then it doesn't matter
which of the two files is used as the backing file for 'active'.
Nice! Thanks Eric for confirming and for all your brilliant work.
