There's a trick, VBox doesn't allow you to delete a snapshot with more than one child. So you can never create a situation with multiple roots. > src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- > 1 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) Tested (but only on VBox 4.0), works, ACK. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
