From my previous email:
"administrator needs to migrate disk images to a new file system or
storage devices without downtime."
Here is some more detail about how that works:
QEMU has a drive-mirror QMP command that copies the disk image to a new
location while continuing to service I/O. In other words live storage
migration, no downtime.
A tool needs to connect to the QMP unix domain socket and issue the
drive-mirror command. Then it needs to wait until the QMP events are
raised signalling drive-mirror completion and it block-job-complete QMP
command to atomically switch to the new image file (it is now safe to
delete the old image file).
