Does "virsh vol-clone" automatically trigger guest-fsfreeze-freeze if QEMU guest agent is configured?
Issue
We want to clone our virtual disks before performing a software update. With RHEL 6.5 the QEMU guest virtual machine agent protocol is fully supported.
10.16.3. Creating a guest virtual machine disk backup [2] describes the process of how a snapshot request, or creating a backup copy of the disk is being done:
...the management stack (libvirt) sends a guest-fsfreeze-freeze QMP command to the QEMU GA via the virtio-serial port ...
Is the guest-fsfreeze-freeze
being automatically triggered when using "virsh vol-clone
"?
