Thanks Cole. It would be a very useful feature for building clusters on laptops. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 4:37 PM, Cole Robinson <<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Christopher Dale wrote: > What is the proscribed method for virt-clone if the target you want to > use is a snapshot, not a cloned image? > </div>virt-clone doesn't have any snapshot support at the moment.
