+Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
+for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
+dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
+If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
+for the group are abandoned.
-A list of dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
-For snapshots this is the device, the file to use for the new snapshot,
-and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
+For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
+the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
+qcow2.
Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
current image file as the backing file for the new image.
+On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
+
+For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
+name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
+be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
+and sheepdog.
+
+On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
+transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
+it later with qemu-img or other command.
