Hi, i have some Virtual machines running on an OCFS2 volume. That means that their disk images reside on an OCFS2 volume. I needed to change something inside one vm and created a relink of it before. What i wanted to change went wrong. I need the reflink. I have vm.raw and vm_before_configure.raw. vm_before_configure.raw is my reflink. The files are quite big: 280 GB. My planned procedure is: Stop Virtual machine. Copy vm_before_configure.raw somewhere else to vm_before_configure.raw.bak. Delete or rename vm.raw Rename vm_before_config.raw.bak to vm.raw Start the VM again. Hopefully be happy. Is that ok ?

If it is, discard the existing reflink vm.raw (better backup first), and redo a new reflink vm.raw from vm_before_configure.raw will save much time since your image is very big.
