Commit 2ace7a87a8aced68c250 introduced a logic bug by an improperly modified condition where we'd skip to the else branch when reusing of external images was requested and blockdev is available. The original intentions were to skip the backing store update with blockdev. Fix it by only asserting the boolean which was used to track whether we support update of the backing store only when blockdev is not present along with the appropriate rename. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820016 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 19 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 78024614cf..ff97f10f11 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -15129,7 +15129,7 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepareOne(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, { virDomainDiskDefPtr persistdisk; bool supportsCreate; - bool supportsBacking; + bool updateRelativeBacking = false; dd->disk = disk; @@ -15158,19 +15158,22 @@ qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepareOne(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, } supportsCreate = virStorageFileSupportsCreate(dd->src); - supportsBacking = virStorageFileSupportsBackingChainTraversal(dd->src); - if (supportsCreate || supportsBacking) { + /* relative backing store paths need to be updated so that relative + * block commit still works.
