[Qemu-devel] Re: [et-mgmt-tools] Image Corruption Possible with qemu and qemu-kvm

[Sven Oehme]

i thought it might be good to post this
on qemu-devel as well, as i see this as a general qemu / kvm / xen /whatevercomesnext
issue .

are there any plans to implement a default
in qemu to prevent accessing the same image multiple times ? 
i know that in xen they deal with this
problem somehow xen specific.
wouldn't it be good to prevent multiple
access to the same image by default and add a switch to overwrite it ?


i am sure other people had the same
issue as i had (corrupting images) and would be great to prevent people
in the future messing around with data loss :-)

Subject	[et-mgmt-tools] Image Corruption Possible with qemu and qemu-kvm

Hi, 

i corrupted a couple of virtual Linux images last week as i accidentally
started them two times .. 
i opened a bug against qemu (not sure if this was a good idea) -->  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=253533

are there any plans to ensure that this can't happen in future releases
of virt-manager with lock files in the image directory or similar ? 

thanks. Sven
