Hello, This is patchset v2 to add FSFreeze/FSThaw API for custom disk snapshotting. Changes to v1: * added quiesced status tracking to avoid double fsfreeze in qemu driver * removed unused 'mountPoint' argument * use "@acl: domain:write" in remote driver * rebased to master (v1: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-November/msg00610.html ) === Description === Currently FSFreeze and FSThaw are supported by qemu guest agent and they are used internally in snapshot-create command with --quiesce option. However, when users want to utilize the native snapshot feature of storage devices (such as LVM over iSCSI, enterprise storage appliances, etc.), they need to issue fsfreeze command separately from libvirt-driven snapshots. (OpenStack cinder provides these storages' snapshot feature, but it cannot quiesce the guest filesystems automatically for now.) Although virDomainQemuGuestAgent() API could be used for this purpose, it is only for debugging and is not supported officially. This patchset adds virDomainFSFreeze()/virDomainFSThaw() APIs and virsh domfsfreeze/domfsthaw commands to enable the users to freeze and thaw domain's filesystems cleanly. The APIs have flags option currently unsupported for future extension. --- Tomoki Sekiyama (5): Introduce virDomainFSFreeze() and virDomainFSThaw() public API remote: Implement virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw qemu: Track domain quiesced status qemu: Implement virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw virsh: Expose new virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw API include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 6 ++ src/driver.h | 10 ++++ src/libvirt.c | 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 5 ++ src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 119 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 2 + src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 23 ++++++++ src/remote_protocol-structs | 9 +++ src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 2 + tools/virsh-domain.c | 92 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virsh.pod | 15 +++++ 12 files changed, 344 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
