When I tried, data was being created as the pool was getting bigger, but after 15 mins, I got an error 'error : server closed connection' Doing a snapshot with snapshot-create with same domain not running and snapshot was created successfully in only 30 seconds. As I would like to do live snapshots, am I doing something wrong? I'm using qcow2 format storage. -- Kind regards Julian Robbins
