Re: [libvirt-users] snapshot troubles

if you are using kvm/qemu with libvirt you can try to delete the snapshot with the qemu monitor commands. The general syntax is virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp <domain> '<command> [...]'

So you can try virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOMINO1-prealloc 'info snapshots'

and thne delete it with the provided snapshot ID virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOMINO1-prealloc 'delvm <ID>'

This will delete the snapshot from your diskimage.

Thanks Christian; this works too on a system with newer libvirt, but on my old ubuntu 10.10 this command is unknown, so I had to resort to Python to solve my problem. But it is solved :-). Grts, J
