This really does sound like Amazon needs to provide whatever mechanism to  
communicate between the host and the guest so this EBS snapshot can take  
place.

On the other hand, every time I read about "block storage snapshots" --  
even if you quiesce the filesystem -- I start to get really itchy thinking  
about the likeliness a high TPS database is going to end up with  
corruption and require recovery. :)
