Public bug reported: When using qemu-nbd with -l to load a snapshot along with -s to create new active layer the tool fails to find the snapshot specified on the command line:
For example the following does not work: sudo qemu-nbd -s --load-snapshot=files --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 Failed to load snapshot: Can't find snapshot However, the following option works sudo qemu-nbd -s --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 and so does sudo qemu-nbd --load-snapshot=files --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1810343 Title: qemu-nbd -l and -s options don't work together Status in QEMU: New Bug description: When using qemu-nbd with -l to load a snapshot along with -s to create new active layer the tool fails to find the snapshot specified on the command line: For example the following does not work: sudo qemu-nbd -s --load-snapshot=files --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 Failed to load snapshot: Can't find snapshot However, the following option works sudo qemu-nbd -s --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 and so does sudo qemu-nbd --load-snapshot=files --connect /dev/nbd0 rootfs.qcow2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1810343/+subscriptions
