files in three different vms have disappeared in the last week.
In one case I lost work.
previously I've seen a vm start without local data, somehow it doesn't

multiple restarts over multiple days is not working.
what can I investigate to discover the cause of the missing data?
assuming, for the sake of argument, accident and not adversary.
I can reproduce this with appvms based on debian 8, but not fedora 23.
* create new appvm
* open a terminal, 'touch foo'
* shutdown vm
* restart vm, file is gone
fedora 23 based appvms persist, but the debian 8 based appvms did not,
at least in this test. I have not checked all my vms yet.
Additional data point.
* Download the Equation Group files from Mega to report on them
* qvm-copy-to-vm --> new fedora 23 based appvm
* open terminal in new vm, files are there
* shutdown, reboot--files are gone
jmp
If you have modified your debian 8 template a lot, another thing you
could try is to create a bare/unmodified debian template and switch your
appvm to use the latter. Then see if the problem persists.
