copy-on-write and cloning templates
So, I can't get my head around copy-on-write and cloning templates and I'd hate to delete something important.
I have an antlet (which is also a template). It has a virtual drive (an external hdd).
If I clone this instance, I get a duplicate machine -- files and all.
Then, I start adding files/removing files from machine #2, but machine #1 is unchanged. So I guess it's keep a "copy" of things that are changed (added/deleted) and for files that are the same, they are "shared" between the VMs?
What happens if I delete the "template" for this machine? (It was created when I created machine #1).
What if I delete both machines?
Seems like witchcraft...
FYI I think I found my answer here:
