Hi, yes, it is a different issue. Here the log messages are caused by the Worker threads of the periodic subsystem, which are leaking[1]. This was a bug in Vdsm (insufficient protection against rogue domains), but the real problem is that some of your domain are being unresponsive at hypervisor level. The most likely cause is in turn unresponsive storages. Fixes are been committed and shipped with Vdsm 4.17.34. See: ttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/1364925 HTH, +++ [1] actually, they are replaced too quickly, leading to unbound growth. So those aren't actually "leaking", Vdsm is just overzealous handling one error condition, making things worse than before. Still serious issue, no doubt, but quite different cause. -- Francesco Romani Red Hat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
