Re: [libvirt-users] snapshot troubles

Meanwhile, you don't have to use virsh. You could write your own C program that directly calls virDomainSnapshotDelete() from libvirt.so, or you could use python bindings. I'm not a python whiz, but I think it would probably be something like: $ python >>> import libvirt >>> conn = libvirt.open(None) >>> dom = conn.lookupByName("DOMINO1-prealloc") >>> snap = dom.snapshotLookupByName("W2K3-virgin install", 0) >>> snap.delete(0) >>> quit()
