Package: qemu Version: 0.7.0-2 Severity: important Hi
I've run into a problem using qemu with large-disk images. I recently created an 8 gigabyte image file using the qcow format and attempted to install Windows 2000 on it. All seemed to be going well until qemu suddenly crashed with a "File size limit exceeded" error. This seemed to happen on the 2 gigabyte boundary. Obviously this is a significant problem when attempting to emulate modern day operating systems. Admittedly, I don't know much about this issue, but I've heard that there is a compiler option that permits read/write access for larger files over this size. Therefore, it may be possible that this issue could be solved in this manner. Hope this information helps.
