Whenever I tried to talk to the KVM IRC channel, I get told I need a much newer
version than RedHat ships in EL and they don't support the old version in EL...
So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Start by updating to SL 6.4 with all the KVM updates? KVM is

snapshotting are likely to benefit from using the latest releases.
I've tried that - no change. Although as far as I can tell the qemu-kvm
in the SL 6.2 security updates (which I was originally running) is the
same version that is shipped in 6.4, so wasn't upgraded.
As mentioned, I've not found any especially good documentation online
specifically referring to Scientific Linux / RHEL, etc. But something I
did find suggested that RHEL doesn't support live snapshotting but RHEV
does. I don't know how accurate this is or how it relates to Scientific
Linux though.
Hi Steve,
You can try asking the developers directly over at
Spice-devel mailing list
spice-de...@lists.freedesktop.org
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
No offence, but maybe sending people to the right place is a good idea.
SPICE is related to both KVM and QEMU, but it's still not the same
thing. Same same but different, kind of. So may I recommend one of
these lists instead?
* KVM mailing lists and IRC channels
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Lists%2C_IRC
* QEMU mailing lists
http://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists
They take questions from the general public. (They
can get cranky though.)
Yeah, I can understand that though ... asking about things in the wrong
list can also cause such issues.
