Thanks for the reply! The original image is still there. Only the 1st and
only top-level snapshot is deleted.
the blockcommit fails though:
[root@vm1 ~]# virsh blockcommit serv1r2 vda --active --pivot
error: block copy still active: disk 'vda' already in active block job
What does 'virsh blockjob serv1r2 vda' report?
If it's something like this:
$ virsh blockjob fedora23 vda
Active Block Commit: [100 %]
Then you just need to finalize the block job by:
virsh blockjob --pivot serv1r2 vda
If that's not the case, please post what virsh blockjob is reporting and
the <disk> part of the XML.
In case where libvirt falsely thinks that the job did not finish I'll
guide you how to recover it, since restarting libvirtd would make
libvirt clear the block job busy flag, but libvirt would lose the
metadata.
