<p>Hi Allon,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am trying to leverage snapshot capability of underlying filesystem.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">As per my understanding current snapshot </span><span style="font-size:12pt"></span><span style="font-size:12pt">works like this:</span></p>
<p>Base Image(raw)--->snap1(qcow)-><wbr>snap2(qcow), i.e after each snapshot vm starts writing on newly created qcow image.</p>
<p>So in this case vm is going to do all new writes on snap2(qcow) voulme and will redirect read IOs to snap1 & Base image as required.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But in my case snapshots created by the filesystem are read only and it's in raw format.</p>
<p>As a result after creating snapshot vm disk configuration won't change after taking snapshot but will continue doing writes on same base image.</p>
<p>So snapshots will look like this:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols;font-size:16px">Base Image(raw)--->snap1(raw)-><wbr>snap2(raw)</span><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols;font-size:16px">Base Image will always remain writable, while the snapshots
will remain read only raw format.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Just wanted to confirm is this configurable so that vm continues referring base image after the snapshot instead of newly created qcow image?</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is not. It'll need code modification to allow externally taking snapshots of VM disks.</div><div>Y.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div id="m_-9072135902178749810divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" dir="ltr">

<p>Hi Allon,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>After going through current vdsm code base, noticed that after taking a snapshot vm starts referring the newly created qcow image/volume.</p>
<p>For internal snapshots which are not qcow is it configurable somehow so that vm continues doing writes to same base image?</p>
<p><br>

<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am newbie to ovirt, and wanted to confirm whats the best way to leverage snapshot, clone features </p>
<p>provided by the datastore filesystem.</p>
<p>I have a btrfs datastore exported and wanted use btrfs snapshots for vm snapshot & clones.</p>
<p>Does ovirt offers any hooks/APIs so that image snapshots are created by the filesystem?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks & Regards,</p>
