Assigning to Dayle for review. Dayle, a quick note that this bug was originally describing a single use case (for Cinder disks), but this feature has a more general application in taking live snapshots for any running virtual machine, so the documentation for this feature should not be limited to just this use case. Added 2 new topics to the Virtual Machines -> Actions section: * freezing virtual machine filesystems * thawing virtual machine filesystems I decided to keep the topic more generic about live snapshots, as Lucy suggested in the bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1285925#c1) as the Cinder/Ceph instructions seem to still apply to the notes here. I've also added a link to the Snapshots section of the VMM Guide. I've switched the reviewer to Andrew Burden as he helped me out in the beginning with this bug and is already quite familiar with it. Please let me know if it needs corrections or I've missed something. Thanks for reviewing!
