2012-06-15qemu-img check -r for repairing imagesKevin Wolf1-2/+2
The QED block driver already provides the functionality to not only detect inconsistencies in images, but also fix them. However, this functionality cannot be manually invoked with qemu-img, but the check happens only automatically during bdrv_open(). This adds a -r switch to qemu-img check that allows manual invocation of an image repair. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2011-08-29qemu-img: Require larger zero areas for sparse handlingKevin Wolf1-2/+2
By default, require 4k of consecutive zero bytes for qemu-img to make the output file sparse by not issuing a write request for the zeroed parts. Add an -S option to allow users to tune this setting. This helps to avoid situations where a lot of zero sectors and data sectors are mixed and qemu-img tended to issue many tiny 512 byte writes. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2011-07-05qemu-img: Add cache command line optionFederico Simoncelli1-3/+3
qemu-img currently writes disk images using writeback and filling up the cache buffers which are then flushed by the kernel preventing other processes from accessing the storage. This is particularly bad in cluster environments where time-based algorithms might be in place and accessing the storage within certain timeouts is critical. This patch adds the option to choose a cache method when writing disk images. Signed-off-by: Federico Simoncelli <fsimonce@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-10-22Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 diskedison1-2/+2
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 Hajnoczi1-0/+6
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 Wolf1-0/+6
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 Wolf1-4/+4
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.

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>
