Right, done some more testing and indeed, the vms created from templates that
were created from snapshots are not working. I get the following error in the
management server logs:

The template file is there:

./template/tmpl/5/217/59dfab5d-832e-4160-8f8e-47efb2d23d3e.raw
As i've mentioned earlier, there is no problem when doing: root_disk > template
> vm. The problem seems to be when I perform: root_disk > snapshot > template >
vm.
There seems to be a difference in the saved format types. A template created
directly from a root volume is saved as QCOW2 whereas a template created from a
snapshot is created as RAW according to the database:
mysql> select * from vm_template where id=216 or id=217;

As far as I can see, this is a major blocker issue. I can't find any other way
of rolling back a snapshot apart from doing snapshot > template > vm.
Therefore, as far as I can see, the whole point of snapshots is broken as there
is no use for the snapshots if you can not create / roll back vms from them.
Thanks

There is definitely an issue with snapshotting for kvm.
I've been done some tests, but not finished yet. What i've discovered is that
if you take a snapshot of a live server, the snapshot creation works perfectly
well for me. The snapshot is created and saved without an error. However, i've
tried to convert the snapshot into a template and create a new vm using this
template. The snapshot to template works fine. However, creating a vm from that
template did not work.
If I try to create a template from a stopped server directly without using the
snapshot, the vm creation from the template works perfectly well.
I've not done much investigation, however, i've noticed that when I am doing vm
creation using snapshot and template process the database shows QCOW2 as the
file format. Doing directly via the template is showing RAW file format. I will
do some more testing to verify and post management server logs.

Can someone check KVM volume snapshots before declaring this GA? It's
been consistently broken for me in 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT with NFS as well as
GlusterFS shared mount point.
It was working in 4.2.0 afaicr.
I've sent several emails about this as well as bothering people in
CLOUDSTACK-5393.
