[libvirt] [FYI] Skript to extract qcow2 snapshot info to libvirt snapshot xml

Hello, I sometimes get foreign qcow2 images with embedded snapshots. Without the corresponding XML files libvirt doesn't recognize them. Therefor I created the attached script to fake-create the missing snapshot XML files. Be advised that the XML files might not work in all cases, especially when the configuration was changed between snapshots, but at least I prefer a solution working 95% of the times instead of 0% ;-) And since I already wrote it, others might find it useful as well. Sincerely Philipp Hahn PS: An a drink of their reasonable choosing to the first one writing a qemu-img version printing (shell-)parsable output :-( -- Philipp Hahn Open Source Software Engineer hahn(a)univention.de Univention GmbH Linux for Your Business fon: +49 421 22 232- 0 Mary-Somerville-Str.1 D-28359 Bremen fax: +49 421 22 232-99 http://www.univention.de/
