Hello, I`m trying qcow2`s shapshot property last haft day. I catch strange problem after creating some snapshots.

Look:
VE is ruunning.


root@kvm2:~# qm list​

VMID NAME STATUS MEM(MB) BOOTDISK(GB) PID​
121 KVM_guest running 2048 15.00 14359​

root@kvm2:/vz/images/121# qemu-img info vm-121-disk-1.qcow2​
image: vm-121-disk-1.qcow2​
file format: qcow2​
virtual size: 15G (16106127360 bytes)​
disk size: 13G​
cluster_size: 65536​
Snapshot list:​
ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK​
1 first 0 2011-09-26 13:40:04 00:00:00.000

Now I`m creating snapshot..


root@kvm2:/vz/images/121# qemu-img snapshot -c second vm-121-disk-1.qcow2

After command above I don`t get any errors.
Ok, lets Look what we gave.


root@kvm2:/vz/images/121# qemu-img info vm-121-disk-1.qcow2​
image: vm-121-disk-1.qcow2​
file format: qcow2​
virtual size: 15G (16106127360 bytes)​
disk size: 13G​
cluster_size: 65536​
Snapshot list:​
ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK​
2.1G 1985-01-19 14:02:013435884:05:38.561
0 1970-01-01 03:00:00 00:00:00.000

Whats it is?
I repeat same procedure on various qcow2 files about five times and got very interesting things. =)

For example:

root@kvm2:/vz/images/121# qemu-img snapshot -l vm-121-disk-1.qcow2​
Snapshot list:​
ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK​
���;���6�*�6�*�6�*�7�*�7�*�7�*�7�*���� %*.1������������V�������"��$��(��� �����v�s������������������������������������������​
512M 1984-08-15 05:19:053164766:48:20.747​

Of cause after this no one snapshot can be applies or deletes. =(



My pveversion:

root@kvm2:/vz/images/121# pveversion -v​
