Yes, because current snapshot is really Copy raw-formatted LVM volume
to qcow2 file on secondary storage. So there is no real LVM snapshot,
and if there were, it wouldn't be copied internally.

 Hi,

 I've just watched Marcus Sorensen's presentation on CLVM on youtube and he
 was mentioning that migrating a VM with snapshots will make the snapshots
 disappear.
 Can anyone testify if this is still the case?
 Since at it, are there any alternative ways of using a multipathed iSCSI lun
 with Cloudstack (KVM)? I'm thinking clustered filesystems such as GFS or
 Ocfs, but afraid of the penalty performance.

You'd create a sharedmountpoint style primary storage, which would
host qcow2 files. You can do this via iscsi, fibrechannel, or any
other SAN tech.

Hi Marcus!

This would work with 1 hypervisor, but with 2+ you need a cluster-aware 
filesystem. Recommendations?

You could use ocfs.
