[ovirt-users] Re: NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation
That's really odd. Maybe you can try to clone it and then experiment on the clone itself. Once the reason is found out, you can try with the original. My first look is to check all logs on the engine and the SPM for clues.

The save operation is going at a snail's pace, though. Using "watch du -skh", I counted about 5-7 seconds per .1 GB (1/10 of 1GB). It's a virtual disk, but I'm using over 200GB... so at this rate, it'll take a very long time. I wonder if Pascal is on to something, and the export is happening over the frontend 1GB network? I'm going to cancel this operation, as the VM has now been down for close to an hour.

[ovirt-users] Re: NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation
Update perhaps I have discovered a bug somewhere? I started another export after hours (it's very early morning hours right now, and I can tolerate a little downtime on this VM). I had the same symptoms, but this time, I just left it alone. I waited about 45 minutes with no progress. I then ssh'd to the NFS destination (also on the 10Gbps storage network), and running tcpdump, I didn't see any traffic coming across the wire. So I then powered off my VM, and I immediately began to see a new backup image appear in my NFS export. I wonder if the VM was trying to snapshot the memory and there wasn't enough on the host or something? The VM has 16GB of RAM, and there are multiple VMs on that host (although the host itself has 64GB of physical RAM, so should have been plenty).

[ovirt-users] Re: NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation
On my setup I noticed that creating a template from a VM takes a very long time (around 35min for a VM disk of around 35G) even though my NFS storage network is 10G with 9000 MTU. I am wondering if creating a template is done on ovirtmngt instead of storage as this network is 1G but still the number don't add up comparing when I use perf3 to test my network speeds Any idea why it is taking so long to create a template? ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/UJVCKMBN6FHUPLAHJG7MU5GM5O4FHER2/

Hi David, how big are your VM disks ? I suppose you have several very large ones.
