>>1. missing activation when snapshotting an LVM volume if the VM is
>>not running

Ah yes, I didn't see it,  on volume create, the volume is auto-
activate,  but if you start/stop the vm, it's inactivate.

I'm seeing new patch to disable auto-activation too
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-storage.git;a=commit;h=2796d6b6395c2c4d0da55df51ca41b0e045af3a0

Do we need to also deactivate it after each action (snapshot,
resize,....) if the vm is not running ? 
not sure, but maybe it need to be done in qemu-server as it need to
known if the vm is running and we don't have the $running option
everywhere.


I'll fix the activate for the create snapshot
