You can do the same with libvirt (which basically calls qemu-img under the hood for an offline guest). > > Is there any special qemu command options or kernel configurations to allow libvirt create snapshot? No, if you are using libvirt to create the snapshot, then it should just work, provided you used libvirt correctly. > > I got the error as below: > > virsh # snapshot-create snap > error: unsupported configuration: internal snapshots and checkpoints require all disks to be selected for snapshot This says to create a default snapshot of the domain named 'snap'; since you didn't specify any xml file, that default implies an internal snapshot.

No <disk> element? You have to have a qcow2 disk associated with your domain before you can create an internal snapshot, regardless of whether the guest is online or offline. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
