Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] snapshot create/delete: die early for snapshot-as-volume-chain for pre-10.0 machine version
Date: Thu,  7 Aug 2025 12:47:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807104832.51784-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)

As reported in the community forum [0], a running VM with pre-10.0
machine version using a storage with snapshot-as-volume-chain will run
into issues when creating a snapshot. Similarly deleting the snapshot
of such a VM would fail. Having '-blockdev' is a hard requirement for
the implementation of the snapshot-as-volume-chain feature for running
VMs, so die and suggest upgrading the machine version.
