There is definitely an issue with snapshotting for kvm.
I've been done some tests, but not finished yet. What i've discovered is that if you take a snapshot of a live server, the snapshot creation works perfectly well for me. The snapshot is created and saved without an error. However, i've tried to convert the snapshot into a template and create a new vm using this template. The snapshot to template works fine. However, creating a vm from that template did not work. If I try to create a template from a stopped server directly without using the snapshot, the vm creation from the template works perfectly well. I've not done much investigation, however, i've noticed that when I am doing vm creation using snapshot and template process the database shows QCOW2 as the file format. Doing directly via the template is showing RAW file format. I will do some more testing to verify and post management server logs.

It's been consistently broken for me in 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT with NFS as well as GlusterFS shared mount point. It was working in 4.2.0 afaicr. I've sent several emails about this as well as bothering people in CLOUDSTACK-5393. http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cloudstack.apache.org/msg20123.html HTH Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
