qemu-img 命​令​行​工​具​是​ Xen 和​ KVM 用​来​格​式​化​各​种​文​件​系​统​的​。​可​使​用​ qemu-img 格​式​化​虚​拟​客​户​端​映​像​、​附​加​存​储​设​备​以​及​网​络​存​储​。​qemu-img 选​项​及​用​法​如​下​。​

格​式​化​并​创​建​新​映​像​或​者​设​备​

创​建​新​磁​盘​映​像​文​件​名​为​ size，格​式​为​ format。​

 

# qemu-img create [-6] [-e] [-b base_p_w_picpath] [-f format] filename [size]

 

If base_p_w_picpath is specified, then the p_w_picpath will record only the differences from base_p_w_picpath. No size needs to be specified in this case. base_p_w_picpath will never be modified unless you use the "commit" monitor command.

将​现​有​映​像​转​换​成​另​一​种​格​式​

转​换​选​项​是​将​可​识​别​格​式​转​换​为​另​一​个​映​像​格​式​。​

命​令​格​式​：

 

# qemu-img convert [-c] [-e] [-f format] filename [-O output_format] output_filename

 

convert the disk p_w_picpath filename to disk p_w_picpath output_filename using format output_format. it can be optionally encrypted ("-e" option) or compressed ("-c" option).

only the format "qcow" supports encryption or compression. the compression is read-only. it means that if a compressed sector is rewritten, then it is rewritten as uncompressed data.

加​密​法​是​使​用​非​常​安​全​的​ 128 位​密​钥​的​ AES 格​式​。​使​用​长​密​码​（16 个​字​符​以​上​）获​得​最​大​程​度​的​保​护​。​

当​使​用​可​增​大​的​映​像​格​式​，比​如​ qcow 或​ cow 时​，映​像​转​换​可​帮​助​您​获​得​较​小​的​映​像​。​在​目​的​映​像​中​可​检​测​并​压​缩​空​白​字​段​。​

获​得​映​像​信​息​

info 参​数​显​示​磁​盘​映​像​信​息​。​info 选​项​的​格​式​如​下​：

 

# qemu-img info [-f format] filename

 

 

给​出​磁​盘​映​像​文​件​名​信​息​。​使​用​它​可​获​得​在​磁​盘​中​保​留​空​间​大​小​，它​可​能​与​显​示​的​大​小​有​所​不​同​。​如​果​在​磁​盘​映​像​中​保​存​有​ vm 快​照​，则​此​时​也​会​显​示​。​

支​持​格​式​

映​像​格​式​通​常​是​自​动​获​取​的​。​支​持​以​下​格​式​：

 

raw

    Raw 磁​盘​映​像​格​式​（默​认​）。​这​个​格​式​的​优​点​是​可​以​简​单​、​容​易​地​导​出​到​其​它​模​拟​器​中​。​如​果​您​的​文​件​系​统​支​持​中​断​（例​如​在​ Linux 中​的​ ext2 或​者​ ext3 以​及​ Windows 中​的​ NTFS），那​么​只​有​写​入​的​字​段​会​占​用​空​间​。​使​用​ qemu-img info 了​解​ Unix/Linux 中​映​像​或​者​ ls -ls 使​用​的​实​际​大​小​。​ 

qcow2

    QEMU 映​像​格​式​，最​万​能​的​格​式​。​使​用​它​可​获​得​较​小​映​像​（如​果​您​的​系​统​不​支​持​中​断​，例​如​在​ Windows 中​，它​会​很​有​用​）、​额​外​的​ AES 加​密​法​、​zlib 压​缩​以​及​对​多​ VM 快​照​的​支​持​。​ 

qcow

    旧​的​ QEMU 映​像​格​式​。​只​用​于​与​旧​版​本​兼​容​。​ 

cow

    写​入​映​像​格​式​的​用​户​模​式​ Linux 副​本​。​包​含​ cow 格​式​的​目​的​只​是​为​了​与​前​面​的​版​本​兼​容​。​它​无​法​在​ Windows 中​使​用​。​ 

vmdk

    VMware 3 和​ 4 兼​容​映​像​格​式​。​ 

cloop

    Linux 压​缩​回​送​映​像​，只​有​在​重​复​使​用​直​接​压​缩​的​ CD-ROM 映​像​时​有​用​，比​如​在​ Knoppix CD-ROM 中​。​ 

 

例如：

将img文件转化为qcow2_cow文件形式：

 

qemu-img convert root.img -O qcow2 kvm-centos-5.4-64-weibo_duilie_php5.2.14.qcow2_cow

 

反之一样。
