It would be nice, if ovirt snapshots were more safe. When a VM has the
ovirt-agent installed, ovirt could tell the agent to run site-speficic
actions. What I have in mind is:
linux vms:
- sync
- echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- zerofill empty space (this takes long but saves precious backup space)
databases:
- prepare databases for snapshot (flush,write-lock)
- send snapshot-complete and unlock

We use libvirt VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE flag, which uses guest agent to quiesce
all mounted file systems within the domain.
The qemu guest agent implements fsfreeze/fsthaw commands, which do the quiescing.

From my experience I strongly advise to avoid a drop_caches
with
option 3. We still see commands hanging for hours
if they are issued during high CPU/memory load. Even with
matured Ubuntu 3.16 kernels
Staying with option 1 should be enough and much more save.
