The qcow2 specification does not explicitly state so far that every snapshot table entry is aligned to 8 bytes. QEMU, in contrast, does this alignment, thus it should be properly documented (which this patch does). Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
