If you report a bug to Debian, please use the Debian version number.
Otherwise report the bug to Ubuntu.

Yes, this is what is written in the documentation:

| When using the (unrelated) -snapshot option (section 3.6.2 Snapshot
| mode), you can always make VM snapshots, but they are deleted as soon as
| you exit QEMU.

Bug#510925: -snapshot breaks savevm?

2009-01-05 Thread Trent W. Buck 
According to Charles Duffy of Freenode's #qemu channel, -snapshot is
simply incompatible with savevm.

Therefore it would be nice if this was clearer.  For example,
attempting to use savevm would say "error, savevm doesn't work with
-snapshot."

Bug#510925: -snapshot breaks savevm?

2009-01-05 Thread Trent W. Buck 
Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1-5ubuntu3+twb
Severity: normal

I booted with qemu -hda foo.qcow2 -snapshot, and then did

savevm
commit all
quit

Then I restarted qemu, and did

info snapshots

it lists nothing.  It has silently deleted my snapshots?

If I do the above process again, but omit -snapshot and "commit all",
it works the way I expect.
