Now that the holidays are over, I'm going to bump this message to see if there are any good ideas on this.
Thanks,

Before we base thousands of VM image clones off of one or more snapshots, I want to test what happens when the snapshot becomes corrupted. I don't believe the snapshot will become corrupted through client access to the snapshot, but some weird issue with PGs being lost or forced to be lost, solar flares or alien invasions.My initial thought was to export a snapshot image and import it over the top of the existing snapshot so that children would be preserved. No such luck. I was hoping there would be a "i-really-really-want-to-do-this" option that would let me restore the snapshot.Am I going about this the wrong way? I can see having to restore a number of VM because of corrupted clone, but I'd hate to lose all the clones because of corruption in the snapshot. I would be happy if the restored snapshot would be flattened if it was a clone of another image previously.Thanks,Robert LeBlanc
