[Users] Unable to install Windows 7 with thin provisioned disks

25 May 2012

      I am unable to get an install of Windows 7 to start when using thin
provisioned disks. If I use preallocated disks everything is fine.

What I got is that when the VM is booting up it paused with error
message "VM is paused due to i/O problems with storage domain"

In the vdsm.log I got following

Thread-3449::DEBUG::2012-05-25
10:41:00,139::libvirtvm::240::vm.Vm::(_getDiskStats)
vmId=`e36b1add-acf2-4c8c-8f7b-a7fe4436b115`::Disk hda stats not available
Thread-3449::DEBUG::2012-05-25

vmId=`e36b1add-acf2-4c8c-8f7b-a7fe4436b115`::Disk hda latency not available

Any clue?
