1) OK, if I clone a powered on VM from a snapshot with two disks and here you can find clone in action with webadmin gui and iotop on node that shows they are cloning in parallel.. well! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvZ3lzY0l1MDc5OVE/edit?usp=sharing
The VM is a slackware 14 32bit with virtio disk that I obtained from a virt-v2v from CentOS 6.3+Qemu/KVM The problem is that the cloned VM recognizes the disks in reversed order
See these images where sl1432 is master slcone is the clone
disk layout in details pane seems equal with boot disk the one that appears as the second, but the master boots ok, the slave no. Disks are swapped

Page with the two consoles where you can see that vda of master becomes vdb of clone and vice-versa: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mveFpESEs5V1dUTFE/edit?usp=sharing
Can I swap again in some way? In VMware for example you can see and edit SCSI IDs of disks...
Can you please provide the engine logs where the boot success/failure of master and clone can be seen?
OK. here it is: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mva2Z2dUNJTWlCWHM/edit?usp=sharing Starting point 15:16 both powered off. First message with 15:17 is boot of sl1432b that is the master and boots ok. First message with 15:21 is boot of slclone that is the clone. The slackware OS uses lilo as boot loader and on master it is configured this way at the moment: root@sl1432b:~# grep -v ^# /etc/lilo.conf append=" vt.default_utf8=0" boot = /dev/vda bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0 bmp-table = 60,6,1,16 bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255 prompt timeout = 50 change-rules reset vga = normal disk=/dev/vda bios=0x80 max-partitions=7 image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/vda2 initrd = /boot/initrd.gz label = Linux read-only The "disk=..." entry was added to be able to support boot from device of type vda in slackware, that doesn't support it ootb..
