Hello all,
First off I am new to posting in this forum. I have browsed a lot threw the years and it has helped me tons. So I apologize for my newbie-ness ahead of time. Also I give thanks ahead of time.
I am setting up a Malware test lab. So far I have Ubuntu 12.04 Running in VirtualBox on a XP machine. Also I have a Guest windows XP OS setup and running using KVM inside my Ubuntu VM. I have a bunch of tools installed including Cuckoo. My problem is I can not get Cuckoo to test anything do to the fact that I can not create a snapshot of any VMs. When using "virsh snapshot-create xpguest /home/pauld/share/snap1.xml" I run into this error message :
"error: Requested operation is not valid: Disk '/media/jump/windows.raw' does not support snapshotting"
I have tryed RAW and qcow2 both of which return the same error. Now the strange thing is when attempting to make a snapshot of my qcow2 file I noticed after receiving the error, my XML file lists the qcow2 file as a RAW file type. The machine is listed as RAW format , and shows it using a .qcow2 file. I have edited this using virsh edit and I was successful at updating it so the file type remains qcow2. After fixing the XML and attempting to create a snapshot I get this error:
"error: internal error Child process (/usr/bin/kvm-img snapshot -c snap1-Cuckoo1 /media/jump/windows.qcow2) status unexpected: exit status 1"
I have done a lot of googling, with out finding a solution. With the exception of a Ubuntu Bug report page, with no solution. Hopefully I am over looking something here and its not just a bug...
