[Qemu-devel] qcow2 issues on freebsd

Hi,

although it's not yet released, I tried the qcow2 format on some OSes.
Linux, Windowx XP and OpenBSD worked quite well, but I had a
reproduceable issue with FreeBSD:
qemu segfaults when creating a snapshot. Afterwards the disk is
unuseable (at least qemu hangs when reading it).

I just thought to report this if it's unknown. If you need any more
information just let me know.

Anyway - great work! (:

Regards,
Robert

jfyi:
qcow2 is also working with FreeBSD guests. Sorry for the wrong alarm. I
got two independend qcow2 FreeBSD images (FreeBSD 6.1 and Gentoo/FreeBSD
6.1) which both(!?) were corrupted.
Just copied the data to new disk files, installed the bootloader and
voila.. it's working (also resuming).

Regards,
Robert
