It would be unusual to run a VM from a file in your home directory and not from one in the /var/lib/libvirt/images/ directory. Check the modification times on the files. If /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 really has changed, then the /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 file is pretty much worthless. In fact the /var/lib/libvirt/images file is timestamped as later than the .../Win10/win10.gcow2 file, so I think you're right. > If you want to test that backing file, create _another_ file using /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 as a backing file and see if that new file can run or be made to run. You can do that safely and know that the backing file is not being affected. Do you with "qemu-img create -b ..." or with "qemu-img snapshot -c ..."? I'm not clear on the difference and the man page is anything but clear. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
