Link between a snapshot and it's filename on disk
Hello,
I'm don't seem to be able to match a snapshot from the UI with the file
on disk in the secondary storage. I managed to find it by looking at
timestamps, but otherwise there is no apparent (to me) link.
Can anyone advise how I could find a snapshot's file on disk?
For example I have a snapshot with name detached_fff_20131104155235 and
ID bf08aea6-20d0-445f-b9e7-1039cea8d0a2. In the secondary storage the
coresponding filename on disk is
622ddb9e-86f8-4040-883b-955f3cfdb936.vhd (found by timestamp match).. to
me it wuld have made sense to have the filename match the ID.
Pointers?
Lucian

You can also look up the path in the database if required,

BTW, this is related to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5035
I was advising Diogo to run "qemu-img info" on the file, if he could
find it. :)
