Hello Antonio, i tried to add to my nova.conf [workarounds] disable_libvirt_livesnapshot=False however it has no effect because I am running Kilo and I have rbd backend. I found that only since recently live snapshots with rbd backend are possible. The following patch is in master (and cherry-picked few days ago in Mitaka). commit 231832354932e26f0d76af1cf1711e701375672b Author: Nicolas Simonds <[email protected]> Date: Mon Mar 7 14:46:32 2016 -0800 libvirt: Allow use of live snapshots with RBD snapshot/clone The recently merged functionality for making use of RBD snapshot/clone when available is very valuable for the Ceph/RBD users out there. The new method also makes it possible to do live instance snapshots with Ceph/RBD. However, the current code explicitly forbids it. This patch allows the use of live instance snapshots when a RBD snapshot/clone is performed directly, and reverts back to cold instance snapshot when the old method is used.
