Both system checkpoint snapshots and disk snapshots were iterating over all disks, doing a final sanity check before doing any work. But since future patches will allow offline snapshots to be either external or internal, it makes sense to share the pass over all disks, and then relax restrictions in that pass as new modes are implemented. Future patches can then handle external disks when the domain is offline, then handle offline --disk-snapshot, and finally, combine with migration to file to gain a complete external system checkpoint snapshot of an active domain without using 'savevm'. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiskPrepare) (qemuDomainSnapshotIsAllowed): Merge...

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
