14.7. Creating and Formatting New Images or Devices
Create the new disk image filename of size
size
and format format
.
# qemu-img create [-f format
] [-o options] filename [size
]

-o backing_file=filename
, the image will only record differences between itself and the base image. The backing file will not be modified unless you use the commit
command. No size needs to be specified in this case.
