<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
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)<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>

Cannot use selected DISK. The DISK 0 is already going to be saved.<br>
<br>
</span><br>
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. <br>
