  37Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
  38If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
  39resized to be the same size as the snapshot.  If the snapshot is smaller than
  40the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated.  If you want the
  41backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
  42it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

 187Remove host block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
 188submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
 189been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
 190errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
 191These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
 192actions (drive options rerror, werror).
