Re: [libvirt-users] failure creating a snapshot volume within a lvm-based pool

Hi

if I try to create another volume using the previous one as backing-vol, the creation fails with what looks like an incorrect commandline for lvcreate: # virsh vol-create-as images_lvm myvol-instance 2G --backing-vol myvol error: Failed to create vol myvol-instance error: internal error Child process (/usr/sbin/lvcreate --name myvol-instance -L 2097152K -s=/dev/libvirt_images_vg/myvol) unexpected exit status 3: /usr/sbin/lvcreate: invalid option -- '=' Error during parsing of command line.

Exactly the same happens if I specify a qcow2 format (the doc however says that The logical volume pool does not use the volume format type element).
