I'm have two questions: 1) Is that possible to modify some files in already running virtual machine without login to it via ssh or something else? 2) If i create with qemu-img base qcow2 image install to it operation system with minimal packages. After that i create use image with -o backing_file xxx and run the user vm. Can i modify after that base image? Does modification of base image appears on user vm? Thank You. -- Vasiliy G Tolstov Selfip.Ru
