Asked by Michael Hempel

I have a single-machine devstack.org install of diablo. When I try to create a snapshot with the dashboard it shows up in the list, but it stays in the queued status forever.

You should look at the Nova logs to see if you see any other relevant information. You can also search the Nova bugs to see if there are any relevant bugs related to this.

Also, check manually with nova to make sure that it is not a dashboard problem.

There is a bug relating to snapshotting ami images. They are exported as type 'ami' instead of 'raw'. I would guess that you will see a ProcessExecutionError in the nova-compute log. This should be a fairly easy fix but it hasn't been made yet.
