Still not clear to me.

Previously, on EL 6.5, Live snapshots worked with oVirt 3.5.

On EL 6.6 with libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.1.x6_64, Live snapshots no longer work.

Are Live snapshots on EL 6.6 no longer possible?

_Or_ did libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.1.x6_64 break oVirt 3.5 Live snapshot
functionality?

bugs are there indeed to break working things... ;-)

at the end oVirt uses Qmeu/KVM and libvirt so I suppose it will run something like this to create live snapshot:

virsh snapshot-create-as myvm snapshot1 "snapshot1 description" --disk-only --atomic

due to bug in libvirt, this command will fail in unpatched RH EL 6.6 and oVirt will return error to the user too...

I didn't verify this bug as I don't have any 6.6 yet, but I presume the workflow should be the one above...
