I still haven't had the chance to test this properly. (server is in production), but the problem manifested itself by accident. So, here's a little bit of information. I started downloading (rsync) a qcow image from the file server and noticed it was bit slow. 14MB/sec max - 790kB/s after a

Thanks for the info, Alvin. So I wonder if we could reproduce this without qemu, simply creating two LVM partitions, one with a snapshot, with both originals mounted, rsyncing to the one while trying to get something done (maybe a slower rate-limited rsync) in the other. -- You received this

I've tried again to reproduce this to no avail. Do you get different behavior if you do qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw /dev/yourvg/yourlv lv1.raw and if you do dd if=/dev/yourvg/yourlv of=lv2.raw ? If not, then the compression if you're using it, or simply memory pressure appears to be

It's not good to let this bug expire. LVM snapshots are a severe risk and an important feature on file servers. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in

Unfortunately, this shows up in both host and guests. I haven't tried to use qemu-img on a snapshot, but I will. I fear it will not make much difference. Just having snapshots (without accessing them) is enough to bring the system down on moments with heavy I/O. Sometime this week, I will warn

You're right about the errors. Apparently I had a full snapshot, but it doesn't make a difference. Meanwhile, I've had the time to test this. It is easy to reproduce: - Create a snapshot (1 is enough) - Cause some I/O, like qemu-img convert (this does /not/ have to be the snapshotted volume) -

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. For my own test on a natty server, I started with a 30G qcow2 disk with a lucid install on it. It had about 1G allocated. Conversion from qcow2 to raw took probably less than 10 seconds. Conversion back to qcow
