Thread-topic: Xen snapshot support

Has anyone tried the xen (not xenserver) snapshot support?

>From looking at how xen + libvirt is used, it would seem like the support isn't there since from what I was looking at the xen image would have to be a qcow2 format (and also have libvirt use a tap: disk instead of a file). From seeing that it would seem like when a snapshot is tried on xen (untested) it would fail. Would that be correct to assume, this is looking at the diablo-3 release, but I don't think this code path has changed.
