[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1123975] Re: QEmu 1.3+ cannot restore a 1.1- live snapshot made in qemu-kvm

[Thomas Huth]

I think we can close this ticket nowdays - as Michael mentioned in
comment #4, migration between qemu-kvm and qemu was not supported, and
the mentioned versions are pretty much outdated now anyway.

** Changed in: qemu

Title:
  QEmu 1.3+ cannot restore a 1.1- live snapshot made in qemu-kvm

Status in QEMU:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have upgraded to QEmu 1.3.90 (Debian 1.4.0~rc0+dfsg-1exp) but now
  when I try to restore a live snapshot made in QEmu 1.1.2 (Debian
  1.1.2+dfsg-5) I get the following message:

  virsh # snapshot-revert fgtbbuild wtb
  error: operation failed: Error -22 while loading VM state

  I have test VMs with live snapshots coreresponding to different
  testing configurations. So I typically revert the VMs in one of the
  live snapshots and run the tests. It would be pretty annoying to have
  to recreate all these live snapshots any time I upgrade QEmu.
