Re: [Bug 1025244] Re: qcow2 image increasing disk size above the virtual limit

@Mario,

the external snapshots have apparently been around a long time.  The
ability to create external snapshots from running vms is newer, but
it appears to exist evn in qemu-kvm 1.0.  So all versions in Debian
and Ubuntu should support them.

For the record, the workaround is deleting old snapshots in shutdown mode
as per comment #14.

Upstream has moved toward external snapshots as the way forward, so while
I don't argue that this is a bug, it seems unlikely to receive a fix from
upstream.
