You're right. the descriptive text is wrong. In fact, I was typing the bug report up very quickly.
I did not want to change the size of the base image. Basically I just wanted to checkpoint my machine. So in fact, I couldn't bother less about the size and I thought qemu-img made me. But now I've just realised that you don't need to provide a size argument which I thought was mandatory. Although I think it is very a corner case to reduce the image size and qemu should raise a warning if anybody attempts to decrease the image size, this could probably be closed as NOTABUG or so. -- qemu-img baseimage creation doesn't warn for image being smaller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
