Hi,
the subject says it all really. I´ve been setting up oVirt-3.1 and absolutely love it, I must say. There´s just that you have to take down a guest to make snapshots that ticks me off a little. It disrupts production. So how far off, 6 months, a year, two years? What priority has it on the roadmap? Any response would appreciated, it makes it easier to plan a migration.
It works for me now with the current 3.1 beta, as long as my host is running qemu 1.1. I've been taking qemu 1.1 packages for F18 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=344871) and rebuilding them for F17. Jason

ovirt 3.1 has support for live snapshots. as Jason indicated, the gap is actually in the qemu version in fedora 17.

qemu-1.1 is available in rawhide/f18 and in the virt-preview repository here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository
