In my previous comment, I mentioned that this was a Havana install - that's incorrect. It's grizzley from Ubuntu 13.10.
Daniel Speichert (dasp), did you check the contents of the snapshot that you were able to make when the system was shut off? I too was able to make a snapshot, but I had modified /etc/apt/sources.list prior to sync'ing and shutting the virtualized system. When I booted up the original server image, the changes to /etc/apt/sources.list were still in the virtualized system. But, when I shut it down, took a snapshot and booted from the snapshot, the contents had reverted to the original contents of /etc/apt/sources.list -- i.e. it appeared that the snapshot was using the underlying volume and not the modifications to the booted image. I have no idea why this occurs, but wanted to see if you had a similar experience with your setup? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244694 Title: Creating snapshot fails due to nonexistent temporary directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1244694/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
