For snapshots, that all depends on what you want to do with the snapshot - if you want to ever revert to the snapshot (and boot from that state), then quiescing makes sense; but if snapshots is only an intermediate step as part of a larger sequence of operations and you will then remove the intermediate files via blockpull and/or blockcommit, then quiescing is not necessary.
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. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
