Hello.
I just tried the following:
virsh dumpxml --security-info gentoo-template > gentoo-template.xml
virsh snapshot-create gentoo-template
virsh undefine gentoo-template
Wait - is that really the command you used after "snapshot-create" ?
Because: You cannot undefine a guest with a snapshot without first deleting its metadata
To cleanly delete, maybe you should've done:
$ virsh snapshot-delete --domain gentoo-template SNAPSHOTID --metadata
virsh blockcopy gentoo-template vda
/opt/virt-backup-blockcopy/gentoo-template/gentoo-template.qcow2 --wait --verbose
--finish
virsh define gentoo-template.xml
Can you also paste the output of:
$ qemu-img info --backing-chain \
/opt/virt-backup-blockcopy/gentoo-template/gentoo-template.qcow2
virsh snapshot-delete gentoo-template --current
But if i restore the /opt/virt-backup-blockcopy/gentoo-template/gentoo-template.qcow2
the
snapshot is gone.
Someone has an idea what i'm missing? I suppose i'm just missunderstandig the
snapshot
mechanism.
Here's how I used blockcopy (few months ago, slightly outdated) --
