Re: [Users] Why VDSM daemon resets SATA link too often

Hello all, I'm experiencing strange issue on one of the nodes. There is only one VM on the node but it generates _a lot_ of disk I/O. Sometimes vdsm writes following error to the system log: Nov 1 14:45:17 virtualizer respawn: slave '/usr/share/vdsm/vdsm' died, respawning slave Nov 1 14:45:20 virtualizer vdsm vds ERROR Unable to load the rest server module.

After that VM becomes unresponsible and I have to kill qemu-kvm process manually. The VM's image is stored on XFS system and after SATA reset it takes some time before XFS responds. During this time libvirtd daemon is not responsible and vdsm timeouts. Is it possible to configure vdsm not to reset SATA link every time when it starts? And if not, is it possible to increase timeout how long vdsm waits for libvirtd response?
