This is extremely tricky tho. As for resizing disk images, that could be solved if we had our own version of mkfile (the DOSMinix disk image maker, which can resize disk images as well as create them, without any data loss (ok if you shrink an image you lose the data at the end of it, but otherwise there is no data loss)). I think mkfile is open-source so it should be easy to port to qemu. I should also point out that mkfile seems to work on raw disk images. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFA9CqdgnuWEmthbpURAs4vAJ9+1Yw+ZsMDgQw8WBGF6M+P9COXjgCeMJBI > RlTRyKjjfRbOC/lXswRfE1Q= > =Pdro > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > _______________________________________________ > Qemu-devel mailing list > Qemu-devel@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
