             Indicates the default behavior of the disk during disk snapshots:
-            "internal" requires a file format such as qcow2 that can store
-            both the snapshot and the data changes since the snapshot;
-            "external" will separate the snapshot from the live data; and
-            "no" means the disk will not participate in snapshots. Read-only
-            disks default to "no", while the default for other disks depends
-            on the hypervisor's capabilities.  Some hypervisors allow a
