yes, they stay within their initial configuration

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.
