The idea was to allow a logged in user to orderly close his work right? For that I'm not sure that even 30 seconds is enough. So this shutdown grace period really depend if there are users connected to the VM or not. The question is how to easily distinguish - maybe depend on a spice session connection? That may be too heuristic. But in any case the timeout should be per configuration and not be up-to-doubled in the code. > > > > > Vinzenz - if we are rounding up - is this a bug? > > > >> > >> Is this the right way to change it to 0? > >> psql engine postgres -c "update vdc_options set option_value = '0' > >> where > >> option_name = 'VmGracefulShutdownTimeout';" > >> > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Users mailing list > >> Users@ovirt.org > >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > >> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
