Hi I agree with everyone about using preallocated disks for DB and that is the setup I
have, the issue I am raising is that when you create a snapshot of a preallocated disk it
changes to a sparse disk, because of this change in policy the VM crashes under heavy
writes. I modified vdsm.conf and added
[irs]
volume_utilization_percent = 25
volume_utilization_chunk_mb = 2048
This has cured the VM crashing under intense writes after I have created a snapshot. My
setup is using iSCSI disks
