[libvirt] A couple of questions on snapshot-create/ snapshot-create-as

[Kashyap Chamarthy]

Hi (Eric?),

I got a couple of questions for 'snapshot-create' / 'snapshot-create-as' :



1/ can '--disk-only' option (when used with virsh snapshot-create-as) be run on an offline
guest and generate an 'external snapshot' ? Or a running guest is needed?


2/ Can anyone point me to a bit more verbose info on these below options while creating
snapshots?

 --quiesce        quiesce guest's file systems
 --atomic         require atomic operation
 --reuse-external reuse any existing external files


Thanks.
