qemu-img info YOUR_FILENAME give information about the disk image (YOUR_FILENAME)

Options[edit]

--backing-chain If a disk image has a backing file chain will enumerate information about backing files in a disk image chain

Examples[edit]

 $ qemu-img info test.vmdk 
 (VMDK) image open: flags=0x2 filename=test.vmdk
 image: test.vmdk
 file format: vmdk

virtual size: 41 GiB (44023414784 bytes)
disk size: 1.14 GiB
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora-VAGRANTSLASH-32-cloud-base_vagrant_box_image_32.20200422.0.img
backing file format: qcow2
Format specific information:
    compat: 0.10
    refcount bits: 16


 $ qemu-img info image-qcow.qcow2
 image: image-qcow.qcow2
 file format: qcow2
 virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
 disk size: 136K
 cluster_size: 65536
 $ qemu-img info MY_image-qcow.qcow2

qemu-img info IMAGE.qcow2
qemu-img: Could not open 'IMAGE.qcow2': Failed to get shared "write" lock
Is another process using the image?


Notes:

  • Encrypted information will be available only if the image is encrypted (The use of encryption in qcow and qcow2 images is considered to be flawed by modern cryptography standards)
  • Snapshot list: A list of all internal snapshots
