[one-users] Snapshots -- DOES NOT WORK!

[Svancara, Randall]

Hi,

I read the documentation for Open Nebula.  I understand that raw disks with KVM do not support snapshots (ok, I understand this is a technical limitation and I am migrating to qcow)

However if I go to the Virtual Machines, click on the virtual machine and then select the storage tab, there is an option for snapshot.

Here is where I believe the documentation falls apart for this tool.  What is the difference between snapshots in the snapshot tab and snapshot under storage.  Also if I attempt to use the snapshot under storage, I see this rather vague error:

Error
[VirtualMachineSaveDisk] Cannot use selected DISK. The DISK 0 is already going to be saved.


I have to make this product available for less technical users.  So first of all, what does this even mean.  Second of all, is there any way to provide a more intuitive error message???  I do not see anywhere in the interface where there is something about DISK 0 is going to be saved or a status of a scheduled job.
