[PATCH] snapshot: Mention disk-only snapshots in error message

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When a disk-only snapshot is requested the domain is treated as if it
was offline. This forbids to mix memory checkpoints with the DISK_ONLY
flag.

This patch improves the error message and mentions the restriction in
the virsh man page.

Note: this is techicaly a v2 as I've redone it after checking the code
again after Eric's review. Difference to the previous version:
- The check for --memspec and --disk-only together was removed from virsh
- Error message while parsing the xml was improved
