Oh and one last question. Since qemu-ga does not support quiescing
Windows domains,
What gives you that impression? That's actually one of the things that
qemu-ga is SUPPOSED to be able to do, if you install it into your
Windows guest.
what do you suggest in that case. I know this is not a
libvirt specific question but I shall appreciate any ideas.
Questions and bug reports about what qemu-ga can or can't do on Windows
are probably better directed to the qemu mailing lists.
