| Doc Text | Cause: Opening a qemu disk image from multiple processes at the same time (for example, attempting to take a snapshot of a qemu image while the guest is running) can lead to image corruption. Consequence: The qemu image becomes corrupted. Fix: Never use qemu-img to modify images in use by a running virtual machine or any other process; this may destroy the image. Also, be aware that querying an image that is being modified by another process may encounter inconsistent state. Result: Image corruption does not occur. |
