Description
VM snapshot revert/delete works on wrong snapshots due to change in libvirt snapshot names introduced in 5.4 by
https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/commit/226531e09de099fb5b03719f0809cbbaf46762a9#diff-ecebb684dfb32e5b557e02bbec3364c8L25
Before the change, the snapshot name was a UNIX time of the snapshot, a big enough number.
This is mainly old libvirt/qemu misbehavior
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733143
when simple numeric names are chosen for snapshot names. Names (tags) are then confused with snapshot IDs on qemu side, leading to revert to or delete(!) the wrong VM snapshot.
It's necessary to have snapshot names different to the simple snapshot IDs. Ideally, have snapshot names prefixed with a string (e.g. snap-123).
