Comment 2 Jaroslav Henner 2014-04-07 06:00:54 EDT

I presume that when snapshotting, some temporary snapshot is created in the ESXi, which then gets uploaded to glance, so I should check whether it is not left after I do have the complete snapshot in Glance. Right?

Comment 4 Jaroslav Henner 2014-04-17 13:58:52 EDT

After snapshotting a fresh VM completes, there is no Snapshot file, checking:

There are no snapshots when using the web client either.
