Subject: [Qemu-devel] Qemu snapshot mode: /tmp/vl.xxx file missing?

When using the -snapshot mode of Qemu, shouldn't the vl.xxx file that is
created be visible in the host /tmp directory?
I use the command: $qemu -snapshot -hda disk_image.img -m 256
which seems to write the file to /tmp/vl.xxx where xxx is some random
filename chosen by Qemu during every boot (I see this by commenting
[QEMU_PATH]/block.c I'm using a modified version of qemu-0.8.2 on a Linux
machine, but I also can't find the vl.xxx file that's created using
qemu-0.9.0.
In the documentation, it says that when using snapshot mode "When sectors in
[misspelling] in written, they are written in a temporary file created in
'/tmp'..." but i cannot see the file that is supposedly created on the host
directory /tmp (or in QEMU_PATH directory). Where is Qemu actually writting
to in snapshot mode, before commit ever occurs?
Any suggestions and ideas would be helpful.
thank you,
Atoosaah
