Hello,

it happened two times, always with VMs composed by more than 1 disk.

Now I have a VM with 9 disks and a total of about 370Gb:

1 x 90Gb

5 x 50Gb

3 x 10Gb

I export vm to an export domain and it started 2 hours and 10 minutes ago at 15:46.

At beginning the write rate on export domain was 120MB/s (in line with I/O capabilities of storage subsystem).

It seems 5 disks completed ok, while 4 don't complete, even if it seems to be some reading activity:

with command

iotop -d 3 -k -o -P

I get this on hypervisor where qemu-img convert command is executing

It seems more than 30 minutes no more progress....

I see no errors in vdsm.log of hypervisor and in engine.log I keep this message every 10 seconds:

2019-01-21 18:08:19,060+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.ConcurrentChildCommandsExecutionCallback] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-10) [a1c0e39f-1924-4ae8-8b48-30bcce669278] Command 'ExportVm' (id: 'dc0a58bd-e8ca-42a9-8de0-dd3ccabe0512') waiting on child command id: '29d40db8-a0b9-4408-9e62-1abf3bccca65' type:'CopyImageGroup' to complete

All the disks except the "apparently" not completed one (the 90Gb disk) are preallocated.

Any other hint on what to check?

Thanks,

Gianluca
