<br>
</font>One of our cr<font size="-1">itical <font size="-1">Linux
VMs</font> ran out of </font>disk space. I cleared up
space by removing old application logs within the guest,
rebooted the g<font size="-1">uest and was presented with the
following information message during bootup when the
filesystem <font size="-1">ext3/<font size="-1">4</font></font>
scan runs:<br>
<font size="-1"><i>Clearing orhpaned inode .....</i><br>
<font size="-1"><font size="-1">Shortly after this message
the the guest is p<font size="-1">aused by oVirt and
the "VM has paused due to unknown storage error"
message is displayed in the <font size="-1">oVirt
web <font size="-1">GUI.<br>
<br>
<font size="-1">On the physical node itself, <font
size="-1">I fo<font size="-1">und t<font
size="-1">he following error in<font
size="-1"> /var/log/vdsm/vd<font

<br>
<font size="-1">Any ideas on how
to get more inf<font size="-1">ormation<font
size="-1"> on what exactly
the <font size="-1">error
is?<br>
</font></font></font><br>
<font size="-1">I've <font
size="-1">tried booting the
guest <font size="-1">into
r<font size="-1">es<font

manual fsck <font

logical v<font
size="-1">olume
but each</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font>
time the guest is automaticall
paused due to the "unknown
storage error".<br>
<br>
We are using a FC SAN for s<font
size="-1">torage</font></font>,
s<font size="-1">o<font size="-1">
what I've decided to</font></font>
try is expo<font size="-1">rt the
disk using "dd" <font size="-1">on
the physical node </font>and
t<font size="-1">hen try
repairing it <font size="-1">by
<font size="-1">mounting it
as a loop filesystem on <font
size="-1">a<font
size="-1">nother
physical</font></font></font></font></font></font>
ser<font size="-1">ver<font
size="-1">, and then use "dd"
to import it back in again.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1">Is this the
right approach to take to get
the system back online?<br>
