Hi, Previously on xen 3.2,we can create VMs as the following command line: dd if=/dev/zero of=myraw.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=1 //use the file myraw.img to create a full-virtualized VM including installing the operating system qcow-create 4000 myqcow1.img myraw.img qcow-create 3500 myqcow2.img myqcow1.img Then we could start a VM using the image file myqcow2.img with a suited configure file. However now on xen 4.1.2,I would also like to create a VM whose qcow2 format image is based on a qcow2 format image.I try to use the command of dd,qcow-create and qemu-img-xen to create a image file as my VM''s virtual disk image ,but I failed.What shall i do specifically?Which command should be use?How to configure the VM? I need your help. hxk _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I need your help. hxkThe stupid is becoming strong on this list, Luke. I sense another one of those challenges of the "please help me with hardly any info" type. The blob above is barely readable. Since my crystal ball is broken here is a very short guide to getting help. This is directed to ALL OF YOU who keep sending these annoying "please help" messages I usually ignore. Please... * increase readability of your text; * Detail to us what you tried to do but this time include real world examples/error messages/etc. * read the long guide to getting help here: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Or don''t follow these guidelines and risk seeing your question disappear into the archives without ever being solved. I could not possibly care less.
