Re: [libvirt] [RFC] live migration of VMs with internal snapshots

Right now, we are trying the following workaround of this issue: 1) create external snapshot (without metadata) 2) undefine internal snapshots' metadata (because libvirt prohibits migration if detects snapshots) 3) copy metadata & backing file (primary data qcow2 file with internal snapshots) to the destination 4) migrate VM using libvirt 5) define metadata back 6) block-commit - to merge delta to original qcow2 image.

Things would be much simpler, if they were in libvirt rather than in management app on top of it.
