[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 qemu-server/manager/docs 0/3] fix #4140: Add option to disable QGA fs-freeze/-thaw on backup

[Christoph Heiss]

TL;DR: On Windows guests, the QEMU guest agent calls into the VSS
(Volume Shadow Copy Service) subsystem, which has potential to mess up
applications which hook into this themselves like SQL Server, as
described in the bug report [0].

Building upon the proposal in that report, add an (default-enabled)
option to the QGA configuration to disable the behavior manually if
really needed. Due to its potential to wreak havoc, show the user a
warning when disabled.
