Re: [libvirt-users] [ovirt-users] Bug in Snapshot Removing

Hi Adam, Hi Eric, We had this issue again a few minutes ago. One machine went down exactly the same way as described, the machine had only one snapshot and it was the only snapshot that was removed, before that in the same scriptrun we deleted the snapshots of 15 other Vms, some without, some with 1 and some with several snapshots. Can i provide anything from the logs that helps ?
