<div dir="ltr">Hi Simon,<div><br></div><div>We'll probably start to work on this next week. The OpenNebula repository is organized as follow:</div><div><br></div><div>* Each feature or bug is developed in a separate in a separate branch. Development always happen in public branches.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Minor bugs could be directly applied to master</div><div><br></div><div>* We name each branch after its issue number. In this case, you need to look for barnch feature-1224 (<a href="http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1224" target="_blank">http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1224</a>).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Your feedback on this will be more than welcome. Thanks again for your wonderful contributions :)</div><div><br></div><div>Ruben</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr">Hi Ruben<div><br></div><div>Regarding the snapshots feature, is it possible to get a sneak peek at it? Is the branch that feature is being developed public?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm interested to hear how you are developing that feature, interaction with the DS and VMM drivers, etc. I am planning on working on a similar feature very soon.</div>

We are currently working in snapshot capabilities for opennebula. The snapshoting functionality will be two-fold:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Disk snapshots. As the one described in your email. Disk consistency must be guaranteed by the user. (e.g. powering-off the VM, unmounting the disk...)</div><div><br></div><div>
2. System snapshots. To offer the ability to revert the VM to a previously saved point.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Ruben</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><br></div>
