Need to be tested, but basicly:

qcow2
------
# qemu-img snapshot -c snap3 image1 
# qemu-img snapshot -a snap2 image1 

note : snap3 exist after snap2 rollback


rbd
---
# rbd snap create --snap snap3 image1
# rbd snap rollback --snap snap2 image1

note : snap3 exist after snap2 rollback


nexenta:
-------
create snap3
rollback to snap2

note: snap3 is destroyed


sheepdog
---------
don't have find command. 


I don't know why qcow2/rbd have the snap3 after rollback, I'll test them.

We also want to restore/start a VM using an existing snapshot as base. How will 
that work?
