Re: Ability to add arbitrary data to snapshots

Just save this data near main snapshot data (e.g. in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/<domain-name>/<snapshot-hash>)
and restore it on previous or specified path.

Hello!

Currently our Virtuozzo company is working on some kind of management tool
for libvirt. We encountered some problems with snapshots while development.
So I would like to ask community a few questions:
1) Would you mind if I extend current libvirt snapshot with ability to add
arbitrary data (blob or some config files)?
2) Would this feature be useful for your users?

I see it as something like:
virsh snapshot-create VM1 --blob /path/to/some-file
virsh snapshot-revert  VM1 <number>
and /path/to/some-file appeared again.
You don't really explain what you would want libvirt to do with this
data ?
