I can reproduce this reliably on Server 16.04.3 LTS. virsh version Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1 Using library: libvirt 1.3.1 Using API: QEMU 1.3.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0
I have 4 VMs, the one that consistently fails is write heavy, its a carbon/graphite server. Steps to reproduce: virsh snapshot-create-as --domain centos7-graphite centos7-graphite- SNAP1 --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos7-graphite.img- SNAP1 --disk-only --atomic sleep 300 (approximate time of rsync of base img to destination) virsh blockcommit centos7-graphite vda --active --pivot --shallow --verbose This is where it fails: Block commit: [100 %]error: failed to pivot job for disk vda error: block copy still active: disk 'vda' not ready for pivot yet I end up having to shut down the vm, delete snapshot metadata, delete the disk attachment (the SNAP disk), and re-attach the original disk, then boot the vm again to restore the vm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681839 Title: libvirt - disk not ready for pivot yet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1681839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
