[pve-devel] VM snapshot problem

response to myself:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Virt_Live_Snapshots

"
QEMU has had snapshotting capabilities for a long time, but they have always required the guest to be paused/stopped for a short period of time while the storage was snapshoted. Live snapshots allow for qemu and libvirt to snapshot a the guest's storage with no downtime. This even works on guests with 'raw' disk images: libvirt will snapshot using an external qcow2 file, and transparently switch the guest over to running off the new external image.
"

So yes, It create a qcow2 external file.

Should be tested.

Yes, I was reading it currently. 

Is it possible to do some external qcow2 file snapshot on top of a raw file ?
