[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Create the VMDK snapshot from the QEMU monitor.

[Igor Lvovsky]

  Hi,

This patch completes the previous one and allows the snapshot (VMDK style) creation from the QEMU monitor (Ctrl+Alt+2).

 

To clarify, the previous patch implements the snapshot capabilities according to the "Virtual Disk Format 1.0" document.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-12/msg00311.html

 

Implemented features:

1. Create snapshot.
2. CID concept to prevent snapshots chain inconsistency.
3. Snapshots read/write capabilities.

 

The whole chain (base image and snapshots) created by QEMU can be loaded from the VMware workstation and vice versa.

 

Igor Lvovsky.
