Delete snapshot broken - online medium merge fails => fixed in svn

Reported by: Max D Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.2.6
Keywords: snapshot online medium merge failed Cc:
Guest type: all Host type: Linux

Description

After upgrading to 4.2.6, it is not longer possible to delete a snapshot while the VM is any other state then Powered Off. Before, it will still possible to remove a snapshot if the VM was paused for the operation, but it is no longer the case.

Therefore, it is possible to take a snapshot while the VM is paused, but not to delete it afterwards, which gives a VM stuck with a snapshot. This totally break backup scripts.
