What about migration?
etc. ;-)
I started thinking about that while typing and played loose with the
workding ;-) to CMA.
Still, in order to be truly copied one would have to take the running
qemu image and move it elsewhere. The answer may be in how/where the
value is stored in qemu and/or memory that would be copied for a live
migration. IOW: on the target does qemu start the guest using whatever
configuration was "figured out" on the source including any kind of
parameter changes that could occur without libvirt's involvement. It's
far too late in my day to think about those details. I'll wait to see if
anyone else comments about it.
Tks -
