RPMs for latest libvirt upstream release i.e. version 1.2.3 is<br>
available for CentOS is avalable at Yum repo[1] .<br>
<br>
Libvirt 1.2.3 has major bug fixes for GlusterFS and also supports<br>
qemu/libvirt snapshots on GlusterFS. The change log can be found<br>
here[2].<br>
<br>
However for snapshot support from QEMU, we need QEMU 2.0, which will<br>
be released in couple of weeks from the upstream project.<br>

Hello Lala,<br>
<br>
Where can I read more about these qemu/gluster snapshots? How are they different from the Qemu/qcow2 snapshots?<br>

Hey Lucian,<br>
<br>
Sorry I was not clear in my previous mail. The snapshot is the same<br>
Qemu/qcow2 snapshots. Now this is supported on VM images run through<br>
libgfapi+GlusterFS. Previously the libvirt/qemu snapshots were<br>
supported for fuse mounted gluster volumes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Oh, this is quite a big deal. So one can't take snapshots of VMs running on libgfapi right now unless they use Qemu 2.0?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>AFAIK, QEMU (with libgfapi) supported offline (driven by qemu-img) as well as live snapshot (using snapshot_blkdev qemu monitor cmd) of a running VM diskimage right from QEMU-1.3.<br>
