this is rather important (also checking for loops?)

I wonder whether we want to delegate this to the storage plugin via volume_has_feature? we already tell the plugin there which volname and whether the guest is running or not.. and for example, the base Plugin will return 1 when deleting a snapshot if the guest is running, or when resizing a volume, the RBDPlugin will return 1 when resizing if librbd is used and the guest is running..

might make more sense to have a good interface and give control to the plugin rather than special casing this here and excluding external plugins?

$deviceid is only used to pass it to the recursive invocation below..
