From 039ddff08386003d13b25c7593fd55d3da8394d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anthony Liguori Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:51:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] qemu-img: allow rebase to a NULL backing file when unsafe QEMU can drop a backing file so that an image file no longer depends on the backing file, but this feature has not been exposed in qemu-img. This is useful in an image streaming usecase or when an image file has been fully allocated and no reads can hit the backing file anymore. Since the dropping the backing file can make the image unusable, only allow this when the unsafe flag has been set.
