Hi,=0A=
=0A=
do you mean during snapshot deletion or in general?=0A=
=0A=
In general we do not have any swap usage at all. On none of the 4 hosts.=
=0A=
=0A=
We had some swap I/O on the host that is SPM most of the time. But not=0A=
during that period where we tried to delete the snapshot.=0A=
=0A=
=0A=
I thought of the bug described in RH bugzilla 1138690 "[SCALE] snapshot del=
etion -> =0A=
heavy swapping on SPM". In case you have no access to it (as it is RHEV tag=
ged): =0A=
=0A=
qemu-img reads through pagecache during snapshot deletion. A new flag has b=
een =0A=
intrduced in August this year that allows to avoid page cache. This flag mu=
st be=0A=
provided by OVirt/RHEV. Target release is 3.6. =0A=
=0A=
Until then the only bugfix is to drop pagecache manually on regular interva=
ls on the =0A=
hypversior and especially the SPM node.=0A=

Is there a way to delete large snapshots in a "humane" way that will not=
