Are you using virt-sparsify in the default copy mode, or using
the new --inplace option?

But yes I'm not surprised that internal snapshots aren't copied
across.  We can mention this in the manual.
Comment 2 Samo Dadela 2014-05-07 07:22:39 UTC 
default copy mode without --inplace
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-05-07 08:05:56 UTC 
I've added a note in the manual page upstream:
