Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: forbid snapshot-delete --children-only on external snapshot

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956506 documents that given a domain where an internal snapshot parent has an external snapshot child, we lacked a safety check when trying to use the --children-only option to snapshot-delete: $ virsh start dom $ virsh snapshot-create-as dom internal $ virsh snapshot-create-as dom external --disk-only $ virsh snapshot-delete dom external error: Failed to delete snapshot external error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet $ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children error: Failed to delete snapshot internal error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet $ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children-only Domain snapshot internal children deleted While I'd still like to see patches that actually do proper external snapshot deletion, we should at least fix the inconsistency in the meantime. With this patch: $ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children-only error: Failed to delete snapshot internal error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Fix condition.
