[ovirt-devel] How did vm.merge do when we delete a snapshot that pointed by several other's snapshot's srcVol (as several other snapshot's backing) ?

[pengyixiang]

hello, everyone!
      I have seen about document in [2] about vm.merge in [1], then I have a question, If we want delete "snapshot1" in [3], and "snapshot1" is "snapshot2"'s srcVolume and "snapshot3"'s srcVolume at the 

same time, what should I do?  libvirt will merge snapshot1 to snapshot2 and snapshot3?  or other ways did for efficiency?




Thanks for your help If I can get a reply.
