[qubes-users] Re: re-use qemu qcow2 image for qubes-os

2017-09-11 Thread Drew White
Try converting the disks to just be img files, not qcow.

This is my config file for Windows that works on all my PCs.

If they don't work when you convert them, then there is something else wrong.

Just as a test, that is all.

If they do work when converted, then that will tell me everything I need to 
know to resolve the issue.

I tried playing around with the disk definition of root.img (which is my qcow2 
image) in the config file:


gives "libxenlight does not support disk format qcow2 with disk driver phy"


gives "libxenlight does not support disk driver qdisk"


gives "libxenlight failed to create new domain 'win7'"
also changing the target dev from xvda to hda like in
https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-php/blob/master/tests/data/example-qcow2-disk.xml
does not help.

a plain

boots my win7 installation iso, but the 'repair' function does not detect the 
root.img drive...


Is there any way to use qcow2 images in qubes-os?

If this is using 'cirrus' instead of 'xen' as video device in the config file, 
then yes.
Or is this wizard something else that i am not aware of?
