NAME

       faum-mergecow - Tool for merging copy-on-write files

SYNOPSIS

       faum-mergecow media-basefile

DESCRIPTION

       faum-mergecow lets you merge the changes recorded in the copy-on-write file with the data
       on the (untouched, because of copy-on-write) original media. This can be useful for
       testing first with copy-on-write and then finalizing everything by merging the changes
       back into the original media.

       The first parameter is the filename of the original media. The map file and the
       copy-on-write data will be found by appending .map and .cow. (usually this will be
       ide-#/unit-#/media in your virtual machine directory).

       The second parameter file is the name of the file which will contain the merged data. This
       file can directly be used as media for virtual machines. Make sure there is enough room on
       your filesystem for this file!
