Copy Service) is a Microsoft Windows API that allows, among
other things, the notification of applications for proper,
consistent freeze and thaw operations. With this feature,
snapshots taken while the virtual machine is running are
consistent through the whole stack (from the block layer to the
guest applications) and can be used for backup purposes. For
more information, see the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a

Is there any issue with using these drivers with OVIRT? (since
ovirt is upstream of RHEV, it should work, right?)<br>
