Hi Allon,
I am trying to leverage snapshot capability of underlying filesystem.
As per my understanding current snapshot works like this:
Base Image(raw)--->snap1(qcow)->snap2(qcow), i.e after each snapshot vm sta=
rts writing on newly created qcow image.
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.
But in my case snapshots created by the filesystem are read only and it's i=
n raw format.
As a result after creating snapshot vm disk configuration won't change afte=
r taking snapshot but will continue doing writes on same base image.
So snapshots will look like this:
Base Image(raw)--->snap1(raw)->snap2(raw)
Base Image will always remain writable, while the snapshots will remain rea=
d only raw format.
Just wanted to confirm is this configurable so that vm continues referring=
base image after the snapshot instead of newly created qcow image?
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak

For internal snapshots which are not qcow is it configurable somehow so th=

Unfortunately, there's no such integration point at the moment.

Hey Guys,

I have a btrfs datastore exported and wanted use btrfs snapshots for vm sna=

Does ovirt offers any hooks/APIs so that image snapshots are created by the=
filesystem?
Thanks & Regards,
