Philipp, how big a problem is this? Is it a matter of the snapshots hanging around, or does it prevent the guest from operating? (In reply to comment #1) > Philipp, how big a problem is this? Is it a matter of the snapshots hanging > around, or does it prevent the guest from operating? Snapshots still work: I can revert back to them just fine. Only if I try to delete a snapshot whichs parent snapshot is already deleted, this operation fails. This is because the the snapshot contains a reference to the parent snapshot, which is than dangling. If I edit the snapshot file /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/$VM_NAME/$SNAPSHOT_NAME.xml by hand and remove the danling /domainsnapshot/parent/name entity, I can than delete the snapshot using libvirt. This has been fixed upsteam: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-December/msg00935.html |
