[Sheepdog] questions about qemu-img and sheepdog

[jidalyg_8711]

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 ?


Thank you very much

A snapshot tag is missing for the base image, and you can use only a
raw format for Sheepdog.

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
