 Known Issues
 ------------
 
-• Starting 4.21 VM snapshots are supported for instances on KVM hosts. However, volume snapshots and VM snapshots cannot coexist.
-  Restoring a volume snapshot will remove any existing VM snapshots and may lead to data loss.
-  There is a UI issue where error messages in such scenarios may not clearly indicate the problem.
-
-• When managing and unmanaging UEFI-based VMs on KVM hosts, migration of such VMs may fail in certain scenarios.
-  This typically occurs when a VM that was unmanaged and later re-imported is started on a different host and then
-  migrated back to its original host. The migration fails because the VM domain still exists on the original host,
-  resulting in a conflict. As a workaround, manually remove the old domain from the original host before attempting the migration again.
+• Restoring a backed up volume and attaching it to a VM can fail on KVM hosts, across NFS, Linstor and Ceph
+  primary storage, due to a regression in the restore-and-attach command handling. See
+  https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14007 for details and status.
