Hi, Kazutaka I tried your commands, it looks like work well. But When I used the following command to start kvm-qemu with the sheepdog : debian_inc images ,the kvm-qemu later became dead $./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda sheepdog:debian_inc -net nic,model=e1000 -net tap -vnc 10.60.1.92:1 -monitor stdio And I used the normal images, It worked very well Is it the bug ?

So how the sheepdog create the increase images? Try the followings: 1. Create a base image $ qemu-img convert ./image.raw sheepdog:debian 2. Take a snapshot to use as a base image $ qemu-img snapshot -c base sheepdog:debian 3. Create a cloned image from sheepdog:debian:base $ qemu-img create -b sheepdog:debian:base sheepdog:debian_inc See also: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Sheepdog/Getting_Started Thanks, Kazutaka -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
