yes, they stay within their initial configuration

Thanks. I'll try and report in case of problems

if you are using live storage migration, ovirt creates a qcow/lvm
snapshot of the vm block device. but for whatever reason, it does NOT
remove the snapshot after the migration has finished. you have to remove
it yourself, otherwise disk usage will grow more and more.


Do you mean the snapshot of the original one? In my case I'm moving from storage domain to storage domain and I would expect nothing remaining at source storage...
How can I verify the snapshot still there?
Is there any bugzilla entry tracking this? It would be strange if not...
