While trying to diagnose an issue with a set of VMs that get stopped for I/O problems at startup, I try to deal with the fact that their boot disks cause this issue, no matter where I connect them. They might have been the first disks I ever tried to sparsify and I was afraid that might have messed them up. The images are for a nested oVirt deployment and they worked just fine, before I shut down those VMs...

So I first tried to hook them as secondary disks to another VM to have a look, but that just cause the other VM to stop at boot.

Also tried downloading, exporting, and plain copying the disks to no avail, OVA exports on the entire VM fail again (fix is in!).

So to make sure copying disks between volumes *generally* work, I tried copying a disk from a working (but stopped) VM from 'vmstore' to 'data' on my 3nHCI farm, but that failed, too!

Plenty of space all around, but all disks are using thin/sparse/VDO on SSD underneath.

Before I open a bug, I'd like to have some feedback if this is a standard QA test, this is happening to you etc.

Still on oVirt 4.3.11 with pack_ova.py patched to wait for the udev settle,

This is from the engine.log on the hosted-engine:
