Snapshot deletion gone horribly wrong - Urgent
Hi, I'm trying to delete a 1TB snapshot on a store with 1.5TB free space. should be more than enough and the engine didn't complain. The snapshot to delete is the only snapshot for this VM. I started snapshot deletion a couple of hours ago. ovirt then started filling up the store. I'm sure it happened because of the snapshot deletion. I have seen this many times when deleting snapshots. Now I have a couple of KBytes left on the store and the snapshot is marked as broken. And I cannot delete the snapshot because of not enough free space. Is there a way to alter the database and then delete the snapshot files by hand? I know the files that are the snapshots and could delete them but then the vm wouldn't start because it is missing the files. Cheers, Stefan
This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --fpdfh5NoKeJsTajuwE4iJvvsHgJGCaxL5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable After exporting some unused VMs and deleting other snapshots afterwards I'm back to 500GB. But the partially deleted 1TB Snapshot is still there and needs to be cleaned up. Is there a clean way to "cleanup" partially deleted/migrated snapshots without loosing more disk space? What I don't understand is what is there to migrate, if it is the last snapshot anyway? Shouldn't the "Actual VM"-disks be in a consistent state with or without the snapshots? Or asked another way ... are there documents with an in-depth description on how snapshots work in oVirt? Cheers, Stefan On 11/01/14 17:56, Stefan Wendler wrote:
