[pve-devel] [PATCH SERIES v2 pve-storage/qemu-server] add external qcow2 snapshot support

[Esi Y]

QEMU was not designed to use internal snapshots "by default":

Discussions on this are discouraged, to say the least:

> i never understood,  why qemu has inline snapshot by default.  from an admin perspective it simply sucks.  for example  you won‘t know when something goes wrong on removal,  how much orphaned data is being left.  furthermore,  the freezes on removal are a pita for us and we often avoid live snapshot removal because of this.  this is one of the reasons why i think ,  proxmox isn‘t on the same enterprise level like vmware.
