Changing a guest

Restarting a guest counts as a reboot and is asked. Before a risky change inside a guest, a snapshot is preferred to a file backup, on Proxmox VE, Incus, LXD, libvirt, iocage, Bastille and ZFS; what the snapshot leaves out, such as bind mounts and passed-through devices, is named first. Stopping or deleting a guest needs your explicit request and shows its disks and newest backup first; the guard behind it is the same as for a system container or VM (Hard guardrails). Housekeeping lists what a host passes through to its guests and flags a bind mount whose source fell back to the root filesystem.
