Sure sounds like what corrupted everything for me a few months ago :). Had to spend the whole night re-creating the VMs from backups, and explaining the dataloss and downtime to the clients wasn't easy. Unfortunatly I believe they never managed to reproduce the issue, so I don't think it was ever fixed, no. We are using 3.7.13 so downgrading won't help you, I don't know of any workaround. We decided to just not expand volumes, when one is full we just create a new one instead of adding bricks to the existing. Not ideal, but not a bid deal, at least yet. Since VMs are easy enough to live migrate from one volume to another, it seemed like the easiest solution. -- Kevin Lemonnier PGP Fingerprint : 89A5 2283 04A0 E6E9 0111
