If the guest agent is | not capable of supporting per-mount freezing (because the agent is too | old), the command should fail rather than blindly freezing everything. | But to know for sure, it would be good to find the log messages for the | actual agent commands issued by libvirt, to make sure we were actually | trying to freeze just a single mount point. On RHEL, the bug for adding FSFreeze function is this one : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1102457 And according commnet 10 in that bug, --mountpoint is not supported now. Whether you specify --mountpoing or not, it will always output Froze 2 filesystem(s) or Thawed 2 filesystem(s) | -- | Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 | Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org | _______________________________________________ | libvirt-users mailing list | libvirt-users@redhat.com | https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users -- Regards shyu
