Unfortunately, this shows up in both host and guests. I haven't tried to use qemu-img on a snapshot, but I will. I fear it will not make much difference. Just having snapshots (without accessing them) is enough to bring the system down on moments with heavy I/O. Sometime this week, I will warn

You're right about the errors. Apparently I had a full snapshot, but it doesn't make a difference. Meanwhile, I've had the time to test this. It is easy to reproduce: - Create a snapshot (1 is enough) - Cause some I/O, like qemu-img convert (this does /not/ have to be the snapshotted volume) -
