can't use snapshot - says upgrading format?

Posted on July 11, 2014

I have a snap shot, and when i try to create a new droplet and assign the snapshot, I am unable to select the snapshot - it says

“This image is being converted to an upgraded format, please check back soon”

Is this normal? I created another snapshot and tried to assign it to a new droplet - same thing!

Any news on this issue?

Yes, that’s normal. Please wait until the image is converted to the upgraded format.

I’m waiting about 24 hours already and the situation still not changed! Also can’t restore my droplet from previously saved snaphot. Would like to know how long time the situation will take place
