[Qemu-devel] What the current status on using loadvm with read-only qcow2 image

[Bo Chen]

Hello,

Is there a way to use "-loadvm" loading an internal snapshot with a
read-only "qcow2" image for the latest version of qemu?

This seems to be a popular question, here are two "recent" ones:
[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1184089
[2] https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-discuss/2011-10/msg00009.html

I am curious what is the status on this feature.

Thanks,
Bo
