Hi,

I am trying to find info about whether block commit of an offline domain is possible?

Historically I know it was not supported and I wanted to confirm whether that is still the case. I did not notice mention about the limitation in the libvirt domain API docs or in the virsh docs.

I'm investigating in the context of OpenStack Nova -- we have had a feature request brought back up recently to be able to delete an "intermediary" image in a backing chain while the VM is shutdown. And from what I understand, we would need to be able to call virDomainBlockCommit for a domain that is not running [1] as part of it.

So I'm just looking to learn about the current state of support.

Thanks for any information,
-melwitt
