RPMs for latest libvirt upstream release i.e. version 1.2.3 is
available for CentOS is avalable at Yum repo[1] .
Libvirt 1.2.3 has major bug fixes for GlusterFS and also supports
qemu/libvirt snapshots on GlusterFS. The change log can be found
here[2].
However for snapshot support from QEMU, we need QEMU 2.0, which will
be released in couple of weeks from the upstream project.

Hello Lala,
Where can I read more about these qemu/gluster snapshots? How are they different from the Qemu/qcow2 snapshots?
Lucian
Sorry I was not clear in my previous mail. The snapshot is the same
Qemu/qcow2 snapshots. Now this is supported on VM images run through
libgfapi+GlusterFS. Previously the libvirt/qemu snapshots were
supported for fuse mounted gluster volumes.
Thanks,
Lala
AFAIK, QEMU (with libgfapi) supported offline (driven by qemu-img) as well as live snapshot (using snapshot_blkdev qemu monitor cmd) of a running VM diskimage right from QEMU-1.3.

Bharata.
