Can change in Linked clone affect template?

[Arsen Sirekanyan]

Not sure, whether this is bug, or do I missed something
My actions
1) I converted kvm VM with qcow2 to a template.
2) Created linked clone from that template
3) logged in here via web interface console (noVNC) to the clone
changed /etc/defaults/grub and /etc/ssh/sshd_conf files.
4) Created another linked clone from the template
logged in here to make the same changed, but /etc/defaults/grub was already with the change I made in the clone. ( ssh config was not affected)

Is this expected behavior? or should I test it more and report a bug?

this should definitely not happen, please try to reproduce and report it

in fact when converting to a template we try to set the 'immutable' bit on the disk files (so they cannot be changed)

Ok, thanks for the response,

Tried to reproduce with no luck. The file remains unchanged.

Sorry for the distraction, may have misclicked and clone not from template.. or misread.. as the files should have both ether preserve the changes or not. Not sure of anything already..

Thanks again, everything works as expected.
