Hi, I'm trying to create a snapshot on a specific disk by using diskspec option. However, libvirt/virsh seems to ignore it and takes a snapshot of all disks. Am I using this option incorrectly?
In below examples, I'm trying to snapshot only vdb. However even vda is getting snapshotted regardless of diskspec. Is this a known issue?
I'm on CentOS 7.1, libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.8, virsh 1.2.8
[root@localhost scripts]# virsh domblklist centos_nfs Target Source ------------------------------------------------ vda /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos_nfs.SNAP_2015-08-07-081800 vdb /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos_nfs_storage.SNAP_2015-08-07-081800 hdc -
[root@localhost scripts]# virsh snapshot-create-as --domain centos_nfs --name SNAP_2015-08-07-090909 --no-metadata --disk-only --atomic --diskspec vdb,snapshot=external
This command line did not give a diskspec for vda, so the action for vda defaults to whatever the <domain> XML says is default for that disk . Try giving: --diskspec vdb,snapshot=external --diskspec vda,snapshot=none to explicitly override the <domain> defaults for both disks at once. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
