Greetings fellow mailing listers,

I've been using oVirt since September now, and using version 3.5 currently. When I first setup my small cluster I decided to import a CentOS image from the glance image repository. However the first time I tried it the import failed to complete. The problem is that oVirt has not clued in that this import failed even 2 months and several reboots of the entire cluster later. I ended up re-attempting the import a day later (this is back in September) and it worked, however this invalid task is still in my task list.

I tried using a few tricks from this mailing list when I encountered this, one was to run a task removal script on the hosted-engine. However while that removed other stale tasks like drive copying.. it never seems to work for this import task. This task disappears when I run the script, but reappears once the hosted-engine is restarted. It's stuck.. somewhere. I had settled on giving up on cleaning up this nuisance a month ago, and had planned to forget about it; until today.

Today I am upgrading my storage pool from a simple NFS share on an old linux server to a proper NFS volume on a new FreeNAS device. Everything was smooth until I moved everything off the old NFS share and wanted to put it into maintenance mode so I could cleanly remove it from the datacenter. I cannot remove it. Attempting to remove it produces the error:

Operation Canceled
Error while executing action: Cannot deactivate Data Domain while there are running tasks on this data domain.

-Please wait until tasks will finish and try again.

So now I am forced to find the solution to removing this task. I know the task's ID is 765780ce but how do I rid myself of this ghost once and for all? Also important to mention I have noticed there is a 'Locked' disk associated with this task.

Regards,
