[Qemu-discuss] issues with -snapshot

[qemudisc]

hello,

i have been trying to use the snapshot option and commit command and i don't
seem to be getting any results, 

the commit command does not cause changes to be written to the disc images(s) 
( all qcow2). 

further, there are no temporary files created anywhere on my machine that
supposedly contain any changes to be written , although qemu's output at
initialization names them and specifies their location in /tmp.

anyone have any ideas what's happening?

thanks
