It looks like a similar issue that I am experiencing, but i need to double check the sequence.
I've tested it a few months back, but from what I recall i've managed to go through vm > snapshot > template > deploy without any issues. However, what I was experiencing is occasional problems with snapshots, which tend to cause problems for some image types and not others. For instance, I had a volume which always caused an error during snapshot and in addition to that it caused agent to disconnect from the master leaving the status with Alert. It happened every time i've tried to snapshot it. I've created another volume and migrated data across and didn't have any issues. The db entries for both images were identical (in terms of important fields - not creation/modification dates, etc). I will need to find time to do more testing and report back.

I've noticed, but couldn't find the correlation yet, that sometimes I get the QCOW2 disk image format and sometimes the RAW format when ACS stores images on the RBD primary storage. Not sure if this relates to how images are created (from snapshots/templates/image_wizzard). As a result, i tend to have an issue with volume snapshot creation when incorrect format is specified. Thanks Andrei
