now it works, thanks a lot!
By the way. You can also create a snapshot of sda, but you need to
specify the destination of the overlay manually e.g.:
--diskspec sda,file=/path/to/sda.snap.qcow2
Libvirt just does not want to generate the filename for block devices
since we can't know where to put the snapshot.
