[ovirt-users] [Users] Resizing bootable disk erase OS

[Dafna Ron]

what type of storage are you using?
did the vm have only 1 disk?
was there anything you did before taking down the vm? (live migration, 
live snapshots?)
Can you reproduce this or did it happen on only 1 vm?
what storage are you using?

Please attach the engine, vdsm, libvirt and qemu logs from the event.

Thanks,

Dafna
