Unfortunately true for the moment.
Hi, does this command can help with you? virsh qemu-monitor-command vmname --hmp 'help' | grep snapshot_blkdev
This would work for current versions of qemu, but may not work in the future (as HMP does not guarantee stable output) - parsing QMP output would be more reliable. Furthermore, the 'qemu-monitor-command' is intentionally unsupported, although this particular use is safe because it doesn't change guest state behind libvirt's back. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
