Thanks for the hint but unfortunately every qemu command quits with a segfault with this image: scotty images # qemu-nbd nweb.img Segmentation fault [192749.840652] qemu-nbd[16052]: segfault at 7f88b1382000 ip 0000000000419492 sp 00007fff1e94f710 error 7 in qemu-nbd[400000+31000] It's sad that a segfault of Qemu/KVM can corrupt a whole image while the host itself was running without any problems as the segfault happened. Seems that the data is lost. But thanks again anyway!
