Hey!

I was wondering where the files of a particular virtual machine are stored. If I am right, then they should be stored in the image from which I booted them, right?

If they are stored in the image from which I boot the virtual machine, then I am not getting new images when I am creating a new virtual machine.

If not please, guide me as to where these files are stored. I wanted to know the size of these files via ceilometer.

UPDATE: One of the important locations I found was /var/lib/nova/instances/. Whenever I create a new VM, a new folder is created here and a file named "disk" is created inside this folder. However, whenever I write a file: small or large, there seems to be no change in the file-size of "disk", so I am not pretty sure whether the VM data too is stored in this file.
