Bug Description
I try to create an external snapshot of a running VM to be able to backup the machine.
I do the following:
virsh snapshot-create-as --domain Windows10Pro Snapshot3 --diskspec hda,file=
After backing up the data i blockcommit the snapshot:
virsh blockcommit Windows10Pro hda --active --verbose --pivot
I then manually delete the Snapshot from the disk.
This works perfectly for the first time.
The second time i want to do it, i get the following error:
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'transaction': The feature 'snapshot' is not enabled
I can only solve this by rebooting the machine. Restarting libvirtd-bin or qemu-kvm does not help.
This is Ubunut 16.04, libvirt is 1.2.21-2ubuntu7
