This is the corresponding man page entry: domfsfreeze domain [[--mountpoint] mountpoint...] Freeze mounted filesystems within a running domain to prepare for consistent snapshots. The --mountpoint option takes a parameter mountpoint, which is a mount point path of the filesystem to be frozen. This option can occur multiple times. If this is not specified, every mounted filesystem is frozen. > Freezes all mounted block devices filesystems. So if I use 4 block > devices they are all frozen for snapshotting. Or just the root fs? Since you are using agent passthrough where libvirt doesn't do any interpretation of what happens please refer to the appropriate QEMU agent documentation for the semantics of the command you've used.
