2010-10-22Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 diskedison
In order to backup snapshots, created from QCOW2 iamge, we want to copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk to a seperate storage. The following patch adds a new option in "qemu-img": qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img. Right now, it only supports to copy the full snapshot, delta snapshot is on the way. Changes from V1: all the comments from Kevin are addressed: Add read-only checking Fix coding style Change the name from bdrv_snapshot_load to bdrv_snapshot_load_tmp Signed-off-by: Disheng Su <edison@cloud.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-05-03qemu-img: Add 'resize' command to grow/shrink disk imagesStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds a 'resize' command to grow/shrink disk images. This allows changing the size of disk images without copying to a new image file. Currently only raw files support resize. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-01-13qemu-img rebaseKevin Wolf
This adds a rebase subcommand to qemu-img which allows to change the backing file of an image. In default mode, both the current and the new backing file need to exist, and after the rebase, the COW image is guaranteed to have the same guest visible content as before. To achieve this, old and new backing file are compared and, if necessary, data is copied from the old backing file into the COW image. With -u an unsafe mode is enabled that doesn't require the backing files to exist. It merely changes the backing file reference in the COW image. This is useful for renaming or moving the backing file. The user is responsible to make sure that the new backing file has no changes compared to the old one, or corruption may occur.

2009-11-09Documentation: Don't mention old qemu-img optionsKevin Wolf
The old options are still supported for compatibility, but they are inconsistent (for example create -b vs. convert -B for backing files) and incomplete (-F only exists for create) which tends to confuse people. Remove all references to the old options from the documentation to guide users to the more consistent -o options.

2009-06-07Use hxtool for qemu-img command listStuart Brady
Use hxtool to generate the 'command syntax' section of qemu-img's help message, and the corresponding section of the texinfo documentation. This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in the texinfo documentation. Signed-off-by: Stuart Brady <stuart.brady@gmail.com>
