- Live snapshots
  - We were asked to add this feature for external qcow2
    images. Will simple approach of fsync + tracking each requested
    backing file (it can be per vDisk) and re-open the new image would
    be accepted?
  - Integration with FS freeze for consistent guest app snapshot
    Many apps do not sync their ram state to disk correctly or frequent
    enough. Physical world backup software calls fs freeze on xfs and
    VSS for windows to make the backup consistent.
    In order to integrated this with live snapshots we need a guest
    agent to trigger the guest fs freeze.
    We can either have qemu communicate with the agent directly through
    virtio-serial or have a mgmt daemon use virtio-serial to
    communicate with the guest in addition to QMP messages about the
    live snapshot state.
    Preferences? The first solution complicates qemu while the second
    complicates mgmt.
