That would make sense only when you are powered off, wouldn't it?
Otherwise what's the point of disk snapshot with open transactions,
buffers in mem, etc, without saving the state of the VM too?
I understand syncing virtual disk state with the OS cache is a quite
challenge to a snapshot tool developers. However, it is a handy feature
for the users just want to back up their data in the disks without
stopping VM. As other virtualization solution support this feature, we
should narrow the gap to attract more users to oVirt.
actually, live snapshot today is only supported for disks, without the RAM.

Hi,
no. the snapshot is for the entire vm and it's disks.

Hi,
I am testing oVirt engine 3.1 beta release 06-07. I tried
"snapshots-->create" button for a VM and it looked like that the
snapshot to be created was for both the running state of the system
and the virtual disks. I am wondering if there is any way to create
the snapshot only for the virtual disks of the VM in engine?
Do we have future plan to make snapshot for it's disks?
