Re: [Users] Live storage migration snapshot removal (fails)
I can open a bug on this.
Should I file it for the entire "snapshot removal fails"-problem or
just this error?
I've looked at the parsing error and the problem seems to be that the
qemuImg.check() function expects a qemu-img version that outputs a
string like: "Image end offset: 262144".
The only version I could find that does that is the one in the F19 virt-preview
repository. Stock F19 qemu-img doesn't have this output. Nor do the stock EL6
or qemu-img-rhev EL6 versions.
The only function that calls qemuImg.check is blockVolume.shrinkToOptimalSize()
this function needs (and uses) the parsed offset to shrink the LV containing the
qcow2 image.

I remember that this was discussed and the agreement was that if the offset
is not reported by qemu-img we should have used the old method to calculate
the new volume size.
We'll probably need to verify it. Sander can you open a bug on this?
