[Qemu-devel] Cow images (continued)

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear all,

Finally, I am trying to install various OSes on a 10 Gb cow image.

Shall I use "Ctrl-Alt-S" for saving to disc? I am not sure of the key 
combination. I may loose a lot of time trying "C-a-S" like explained in the 
documentation. Can you confirm it is "Ctrl-Alt-S".

By the way, under KDE, this key combination opens an empty terminal.

Another problem is that in the end of the installation, my system may reboot 
and I don't have time to save to cow disc. How can I get around such a 
problem?

Any ... help welcome.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

You don't have to manually save it if you have only one cow image. This
feature is for img+cow double files disks. Read documentation carefully.

OK, to my surprise, I can notice that a 10 Gb cow image uses 10 Gb of disc 
space. Then, what is the fastest: using raw or cow image files?

Best regards,

You can do :
$ ls -hls
... as explain in the Fu^H^HManual in 3.5.3 NOTES 2.

Bye.
