No, it cant.

Actually, when you start QEMU with -snapshot, a temporary snapshot file

which is not visible to the user will be created in /tmp, the file

will exist util QEMU exit.

So even if you reboot VM, QEMU is still running and the temporary

snapshot also exists.

This make you failed to convert VM after reboot.
