Great video!
I would love to see another one on how to merge/flatten external snapshots to the base image or a single overlay.
Subscribing and crossing fingers :P

Great, thx a lot. How on earth did you find out about the pflash/rom trick (and not give up ...)

After taking a snapshot, you could screw up your vm so much that it wouldn't boot. Can you recover to snapshot if you can't get a boot out of your modified system?
A clone, as opposed to a snapshot, would still be there if you totally hosed your system.

so much work for simple snapshot. all this is done with few clicks in vmware and hyper-v, why is it so complicated in kvm? this simply cant compete against against paid solutions imo

I appreciate this video, but there is absolutely no reason for snapshot management to be this hacky and complicated. If only VirtualBox was a Type 1 hypervisor, i would have stuck with it rather than deal with this mess.
