If the running VM contains a writable raw image, creating snapshot fails
internally in QEMU, but the error is not detected by libvirt. Success is
still reported to the user, who will see the snapshot in libvirt, even
they are NOT created by qemu.
virsh # qemu-monitor-command --hmp winxp-1 savevm \"test\"
Device 'drive-fdc0-0-0' is writable but does not support snapshots.
virsh # snapshot-create-as winxp-1 test
Domain snapshot test created
Since there is no QMP command in QEMU, libvirtd sends a HMP command to the
running QEMU and parses the returned text. There only the following 4 strings
are detected as errors:
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c:2822 # qemuMonitorTextCreateSnapshot()
> "Error while creating snapshot"
> "No block device can accept snapshots"
> "Could not open VM state file"
> "Error" + "while writing VM"
Since none of them match the above message, libvirt thinks the command
succeeded.
Add "does not support snapshots" as an additional error condition.
