This means implementing internal snapshot loading from qcow. Given that qemu's stance is that external snapshots are the way to go I don't expect much attention here, but it's a legitimately missing feature. The problems which would arise from attempting libvirt to deal with snapshots with no libvirt metadata (e.g. missing snapshot of the XML state) far outweigh the benefits of implementing this, thus I'll close this BZ for now. |
