That sounds like RHEL 6 (or CentOS).
Yup, CentOS 6.3. I should have mentioned that.
Sounds like one resolved symlinks while the other did not. Maybe
it's
worth enhancing libvirt to allow all names that resolve to the same
file,
rather than just the exact spelling used? At any rate, we solved
this.
Maybe but I don't think it is a high priority. Libvirt is pretty awesome
the way it is.
Yup, it is solved, thank you again.
Alas, your qemu is too old. Red Had did not ship live disk snapshots
in RHEL 6.3;
to get that functionality, you need RHEV 3.0. Wish I had better
news,
but at this
point, an in-guest dd to a hot-plugged alternative disk is the best I
can think of,
since there's nothing you can do from the host side without qemu
support.
That's unfortunate but at least I understand why.
Hope it works for your guest in question, then. Good luck.
Thank you. This mailing list has been great.
