double checking indicates that this may be specific to e.g. /etc/apt/sources.list -- it might be that the image I'm using resets that. I created a file (/foobar/baz), snapped and booted from the snap. The /etc/apt/sources.list was reset to default mirror (http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) but the /foobar/baz directory was there & the package updates I had applied were also there.
So, it's just the issue of not being able to do a snap of a running system. -- 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
