Hi, in this case you probably want to use share-rw=on: -device virtio-blk-pci,share-rw=on,scsi=off,... The -drive option is the same. This is more semantically correct than locking=off as it means "the device can share the image with other QEMUs". But for really disabling locking with "locking=off", the right syntax is: -drive file.filename=/var/lib/...,file.locking=off \ or alternatively: -drive driver=file,filename=/var/lib/...,locking=off \ Fam
