So that the mountpoints don't touch persistent storage.

Would this allow for the flashpointvm image to be attached in read-only mode?

In theory, yes? My initial tries have been unsuccessful, because qemu doesn't allow loadvm-ing from a readonly disk, as described here.
That leaves us with limited options:

  • savevm to an external file, like this.
  • savevm to a dummy disk (essentially the same as above, but less efficient), like this.

I'll try them both tomorrow.

Tried them both. The first one is arguably a better way of doing things, but it doesn't work on Windows. I'll open a PR for the second - it seems to work fine.
