This is very unlikely. You probably have the full disk on the original
domain, and partial copy on the destination.

1. Make sure the copy operation was stopped. The easiest way is to
restart vdsm on the spm. If you want to be more precise, you can use
vdsClient to find the task and cancel it.

2. Unlock the disk - there is a script for unlocking entities at
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh

3. Delete the partial copy of the disk on the destination domain. If
this is NFS, you can simply remove the image directory.

4. Open a bugs:
- engine should keep operations state in the db, and should handle
failures, unlocking disk if an operation fail.
- vdsm should not leave partial disks on the destination domain if an
operation failed.
