virsh snapshot-create-as --domain ubuntu-fs guest-state1 --diskspec vda,snapshot=external,file=/home/anders/overlay.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic returns this error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'transaction': Could not create file: Permission denied I found some bugs related to apparmor, and after doing this aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-`virsh domuuid ubuntu-fs` I managed to create a snapshot, backup the base file and do a blockcommit to merge the snapshot with the base.
