Question: At this point in time, I guess 'snapshot-revert' command is not uhelpful for any practical purposes while dealing with external snapshots,right? - To rephrase, is there a way(in future?), to use 'blockcommit'(or blockpull) in conjunction with 'snapshot-revert' command?
Just to note, I understand that, at the moment, to use revert, shutting the guest off, do qemu-img(revert?) manipulation (and later do: virsh edit $dom ; virsh snapshot-edit $dom snapname or virsh snapshot-delete --metadata, so tha libvirt reflects the new reality) . Is it right?
Yes, operations like reverting to the point of a snapshot currently involve some manual work, with qemu-img and with virsh edit. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
