Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qcow2: Remove abort on free_clusters failure
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:35:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272364518-9386-1-git-send-email-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)

While it's true that during regular operation free_clusters failure would be a
bug, an I/O error can always happen. There's no need to kill the VM, the worst
thing that can happen (and it will) is that we leak some clusters.
