I just realized that the two commands mentioned above were not the ones I noted in the original ticket, so for completeness, I went back and tried the original command:
virsh snapshot-create-as --quiesce --domain dns sn1 --diskspec hda,file=/home/alank/vm/dns-sn1.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic This command executes successfully. However, when I attempt to flatten the snapshot back into the base image, with the following command: virsh blockcommit dns hda --active --verbose --pivot I receive the following error: error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'block-commit': Could not reopen file: Permission denied The qemu packages I have installed are version 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu9.2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1517539 Title: Libvirt KVM can not create snapshot (with qemu-guest-agent) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1517539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
