If I have a command line like this: qemu-img diff -b base.img modified.img diff.qcow2 Would this be equivalent to this sequence? qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b modified.img diff.qcow2 qemu-img rebase -b base.img diff.qcow2 Or is there some detail that I'm missing? If it is equivalent, this would suggest that either the new command isn't necessary at all or at least that it should reuse the qemu-img rebase code. > + /* NB: It is possible to relax this constraint so that > + * num_sectors_base <= num_sectors_modified, ie. the modified disk > + * has been expanded.

Just don't mention any specific image formats. qcow1, VMDK and COW are other formats that support backing files and should work just as well. And if another one is added, nobody will remember to update the qemu-img documentation. Kevin
