Hi,
A user was unable to import a VM template from a gluster export storage because of various reasons, and since I'm afraid this could hit many users (losing many days waiting for import tasks to...fail) I would like to share the issues and some ideas with you:
1) Slowness:
FYI, working with sparse files on GlusterFS mounts will be very slow until https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220173 is implemented. Maybe the same applies also to other network file-systems.
2) Engine Task timeout:
The last times the user tried to import this template (using nightly builds), the task was apparently deleted by Engine because of timeout while the qemu-img process continued running (and consuming resources). I'm not sure, but I believe the tasks are deleted by Engine after 4 or 5 days no matter if the qemu-img process is still running (!?). Thus, slow import tasks will never finish. Can someone please confirm? Maybe we can improve something here to support long import tasks. Sounds like a bug. Could you please report it with all the logs, etc. attached?
