charset="utf-8" Putting an active block node on top of an inactive one is strictly speaking an invalid configuration and the next patch will turn it into a hard error. However, taking a snapshot while disk images are inactive after completing migration has an important use case: After migrating to a file, taking an external snapshot is what is needed to take a full VM snapshot. In order for this to keep working after the later patches, change creating a snapshot such that it automatically inactivates an overlay that is added on top of an already inactive node.
