[ovirt-users] Re: Locked disks

Hi, I tried unlock_entity.sh, and it solved the issue. So far so good. But it's still unclear why disks were locked. Let me make an hypothesis: in ovirt 4.3 a failure in snapshot removal would lead to a snapshot in illegal status. No problem, you can remove again and the situation is fixed. In ovirt 4.4 a failure in snapshot removal leave the whole disk in locked state (maybe a bug?), preventing any further action. Does it make sense?
