adding federico since I think he can probably add more info here.

when we use thin provisionining we have to extend the disk during writing (it's set to do that every 2GB I think).
during extend the vm pauses and resumes.

However, this action should not be noticeable by the vm user.

Does the vm pause and resumes or pauses completely? is it noticeable by the vm user?

Thanks,
Dafna

Hi Morten,
My understanding of thin disks on a block domain is that vdsm traps
ENOSPC on the thin lv and uses the mailbox to get the SPM to extend
it.   See a presentation by Nir
http://www.ovirt.org/File:Storage-mailbox.odp
I thought I saw somewhere there were some changes/bugs around that for
allowing mixed data centers (both block and file domains). ...just
looked now and this bz looks relevant
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1083476


So maybe you could check the engine logs and spm logs for that flow
(sorry I can't tell you any specifics about what you should look for )

Hi,

I just re-ran the test with adding a preallocated disk, and the problem did
_not_ appear. I tried a few times to write large files with dd, but the vm
continued to run without problems

with regards,
