##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
Currently when taking Volume Snapshots, users have no idea how long the
operation takes.
Cloudstack will just show a circle loading animation, with no indication on
progress or time left.
As a result, user does not know if there is a bug in the snapshot process,
or its actually in progress.
This becomes even worse for large volumes (eg. 10TB) where it can take hours
to complete.
And if the user waits too long, they will think the system hanged and would
then attempt to create a new Volume Snapshot, resulting in 2 on going copies,
which will slow down the entire system.
Volume Snapshot seems to be a very intensive operation. In this case, user
should be allowed to cancel an ongoing volume snapshot if desired, to save
system resources from an unmeaningful operation.
My suggestion is to add a progress bar to the following UI for better user
experience:
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->

Volumes)
- Cant monitor progress of snapshot
