I can see the snapshot in the "Disk snapshot" tab of the storage. It has a status of "illegal". Is it OK to (try to) remove this snapshot? Will this impact the running VM and/or disk image?

I believe it would still be prudent to verify that image 7f8bb099-9a18-4e89-bf48-57e56e5770d2 is supposed to be missing, by running the disk info tool from: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306741. Once we verify that it's ok to remove the image, then I'd proceed to clean up the db records via the image cleanup sql script. Thanks, Greg

I've ran the disk info gathering tool and this outputs (for the affected VM): VM lena Disk b2390535-744f-4c02-bdc8-5a897226554b (sd:a7ba2db3-517c-408a-8b27-ea45989d6416) Volumes: 24d78600-22f4-44f7-987b-fbd866736249 The id of the volume is the ID of the snapshot that is marked "illegal". So the "bad" image would be the dc39 one, which according to the UI is in use by the "Active VM" snapshot. Can this make sense?

Both the "Active VM" and the defective snapshot have an actual size that's bigger than the virtual size of the disk. When I remove the bad disk image/snapshot, will the actual size of the "Active VM" snapshot return to the virtual size of the disk? What's currently stored in the "Active VM" snapshot?

Would cloning the VM (and removing the original VM afterwards) work as an alternate way to clean this up? Or will the clone operation also clone the snapshots?

There is a bug which has caused inflation of the snapshot volumes when performing a live merge. We are submitting fixes for 3.5, 3.6, and master right at this moment.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301709 for the bug. It's about a clone disk failure after the problem occurs. Unfortunately, there is not an automatic way to repair the raw base volumes if they were affected by this bug. They will need to be manually shrunk using lvreduce if you are certain that they are inflated. -- Adam Litke _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

If you tried to remove a snapshot while the vm is running you did initiate live merge, and this bug may effect you. Adding Greg for adding more info about this.
