It doesn't work on my test. I tried start linux-0.2.img stored in sheepdog
cluster and then

1. did some buffered writes
2. restart sheep that this QEMU VM connected to.
3. $ sync

I got following error:

$ ../qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 1024 -hda sheepdog:test
qemu-system-x86_64: failed to get the header, Resource temporarily unavailable

qemu-system-x86_64: Failed to connect to socket: Connection refused

...repeat...

QEMU version is master tip

Thanks
