Create a new .qcow2 image named pavmkvm801.qcow2 and set up a KVM virtual machine with it.
: On Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu), you may need to run: sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils Its defining feature is the copy-on-write (COW) mechanism,
The disk format is the standard for KVM/QEMU virtual machines. Its defining feature is the copy-on-write (COW) mechanism, which provides powerful capabilities for managing disk images. qcow2 is the second generation of the qcow format, designed to supersede the original with better performance and more advanced features. Key features enabled by COW include:
For libvirt users (virt-manager), you must manually edit the XML domain file:
