Hello,

I wonder what exactly is done when a KVM clone is created? I read the wiki article but I just says "the KVM image is modified and can't be started anymore".
 
you mean a "template" ?

when a vm is transformed in template, a snasphot is done on the vm and the vm config file have a new flag "template:1" in the config file. (which made the config readonly from the gui).
