[libvirt-users] Attaching disks with external snapshots

Hi folks, I'm trying to to attach a disk to an instance using libvirt. The problem is, this disk has external snapshots. The process tried was: 1 - Attach a disk in the domain: * virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk.xml[1] --live* 2 - Snapshot the disk[2]: * virsh# snapshot-create instance-00000006 --quiesce --xmlfile /tmp/snap-from-disk.xml[2] --disk-only* 3 - Dump the domain XML and create a new disk file from it: *virsh# dumpxml instance-00000006* * ... [3]* 4 - Dettach the device and re-add it using the new disk file: * virsh# detach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml[4]* * Device detached successfully* * virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml * * error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml* * error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Property 'virtio-blk-device.drive' can't find value 'drive-virtio-disk1'* Question, is this operation supported? If yes, how is the correct procedure?
