<DIV>> Hi, I've used the sheepdog .It is the great project!</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> I have one question about qemu-img and sheepdog, </DIV>
<DIV>> Does sheepdog support the growable disk images (their size increase as non empty sectors are written),Like as :</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> $qemu-img -b sheepdog：debian -f qcow2 sheepdog : debian_inc</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>A snapshot tag is missing for the base image, and you can use only a</DIV>
<DIV>raw format for Sheepdog.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> sheepdog : debian is the based image</DIV>
<DIV>> sheepdog : debian_inc is the increase image.</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> I tried this command ,but failed. So how the sheepdog create the increase images?</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Try the followings:</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> 1. Create a base image</DIV>
<DIV> $ qemu-img convert ./image.raw sheepdog:debian</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> 2. Take a snapshot to use as a base image</DIV>
<DIV> $ qemu-img snapshot -c base sheepdog:debian</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> 3. Create a cloned image from sheepdog:debian:base</DIV>
<DIV> $ qemu-img create -b sheepdog:debian:base sheepdog:debian_inc</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
