Generally, hv_vss_daemon(8) takes the responsibility to freeze/thaw UFS file system, and it is automatically launched after system boots. When Hyper-V host wants to take a snapshot of the FreeBSD VM, it will first send VSS capability check to FreeBSD VM. The hv_vss received the request and forward the request to userland application if it is registered. Only after hv_vss received the VSS_SUCCESS response from application, the hv_vss_daemon(8) will be informed to check whether file system freeze/thaw is supported. Any error occurs during this period, hv_vss will inform Hyper-V host that VSS is not supported. In addition, there is a default timeout limit before sending response to Hyper-V host. If the total response time from application and hv_vss_daemon(8) exceeds this value, timeout will occurs and VSS unsupported is responsed to Hyper-V host.
After Hyper-V host confirmed the FreeBSD VM supports VSS, it will send freeze request to VM, and hv_vss will first forward it to application. After application finished freezing, it should inform hv_vss and file system level freezing will be triggered by hv_vss_daemon(8). After all freezing on both application and hv_vss_daemon(8) were finished, the hv_vss will inform Hyper-V host that freezing is done. Of course, there is a timeout limit as same as VSS capability is set to make sure freezing on FreeBSD VM is not hang. If there is any error occurs or timeout happened, the freezing is failed on Hyper-V side.
Hyper-V host will send thaw request after taking the snapshot, typically, this period is very short in order not to block the running application. hv_vss firstly thaw the file system by notifying hv_vss_daemon(8), then notifies user registered application. There is also a timeout check before sending response to Hyper-V host.
All the default timeout limit used in VSS capability check, freeze or thaw is the same. It is 15 seconds currently.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was killed after system boots, the VSS functionality will not work.

| “ | "I liken starting one's computing career with Unix, say as an undergraduate, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it. By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act." | ” |
